Bring the BSOD to your Web Apps

Friday, May 15th, 2009 @ 9:42 am | filed under: 3rd Party Libraries

MooTools developer Guillermo Rauch (http://devthought.com) has an awesome MooTools plugin that I just have to share: BSOD.js. Good god, it’s brilliant.

The script BSOD.js provides an easy-to-use class to boost the error reporting user experience of your websites.

Advantages for the user:

  1. It makes it unclear what triggered the error. 
  2. By default, it’s easy on the eyes and it succeeds at alarming and fazing the user 99% of the times.
  3. Users are likely to exit your application or website, giving you plenty of time to fix it.

Hilarious! The demos are every bit as awesome as the original BSOD.

    I just wish window.shake() would be called window.degauss(); when used in conjunction with BSOD.js.

    That was hilarious.
