On: Face Detection jQuery Plugin

[Swizec]

While the plugin is probably awesome, there are two things that really suck here.

1. Lack of a real demo. This is the sort of thing that will not convince me until I can click "upload" and have a detected face on my own crappy image.

2. There is no clear link to the actual plugin. I know we're all web guys and can extract links from source, but come on. Even the "source on github" text isn't a link ...

edit: the word Github is a link, but there is no visual way of distinguishing it from the rest of the text, which leaves me dazed and confused.

I tried to replace the image, but not being a jquery wizard, I may've done something wrong. In the end, it said there was an issue with the image. Using the jquery selectors plugin, I ran (with the first SFW image I could find):

$(img).attr("src", "http://www.accesshollywood.com/content/images/82/300x300/821...)

I think you'll find it won't work with images loaded from other domains.

There is a cross-domain data protection feature on Canvas.

The links are purple instead of black. It's not much of a contrast though.
