Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for improving user experiences within a cloud collaboration platform that integrates communication tools with word processor functions to enhance workflows, save time, and promote teamwork in the development of slide presentations. To improve usability, a cloud collaboration platform may furnish a reader mode to streamline the presentation review process. The reader mode may allow viewers to review the presentation as the presentation will eventually be presented to an audience. The viewers may provide comments and feedback on the presentation without being inundated with comments and metadata added to an edit mode of the presentation by the original authors.

According to one general aspect, a method of executing a web application installed on an apparatus may include executing, via a processor included by the apparatus, a web browser. The method may include loading, via the web browser, the web application. In some embodiments, the web application may include a manifest and at least a portion of a web site and wherein the web application was packaged as an installable entity. The method may further include managing, by the web browser, the execution of the web application. The method may include accessing, via the web browser, from a local storage medium one or more portions of the web site included by the web application. In some embodiments, the one or more portions of the web site may have been stored in the local storage medium when the web application was installed.

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for slide grid snapping for presentations slides in a cloud collaboration platform. An embodiment operates by displaying a slide made up of rows and columns of pixels, receiving inputs to select and move an object, interpreting the movement, based on proximity to particular rows and columns, places the object along the particular row and column of pixels, and rendering the resulting slide. By serializing and coordinating design actions using the slide grid, the ease of design and the efficiency of the user experience may be enhanced. The grid system further allows users to comment anywhere in the document, associating those comments with objects or layers, and adjusting or moving the comments in response to grid-based actions.

Systems and techniques are described for efficient, general-purpose, and potentially decentralized databases, distributed storage systems, version control systems, and/or other types of data repositories. Data is represented in a database system in such a way that any value is represented by a unique identifier which is derived from the value itself. Any database peer in the system will derive an identical identifier from the same logical value. The identifier for a value may be derived using a variety of mechanisms, including, without limitation, a hash function known to all peers in the system. The values may be organized hierarchically as a tree of nodes. Any two peers storing the same logical value will deterministically represent that value with a graph, such as the described 'Prolly' tree, having the same topology and hash value, irrespective of possibly differing sequences of mutations which caused each to arrive at the same final value.

A computer-implemented method includes running a background element that is an invisible element in a browser application, where the background element includes a declared association with an application and includes instructions related to one or more visible elements of the application in the browser application and executing the instructions on the background element to perform a function related to the one or more visible elements of the application in the browser application.

A computer-implemented method includes providing an online marketplace to developers of web applications that may be downloaded from the marketplace to a client computing device for execution by a browser executing on the client device and receiving a request from a party to the marketplace to list a proposed web application for sale in the marketplace. One or more processors of a computer system automatically determine the permissions requested by the proposed web application and automatically determine if the permissions match one or more predetermined permissions. If the permissions match one or more predetermined permissions, then the proposed application is flagged for a manual vetting process before listing the proposed application in the marketplace, and if they do not match, then the proposed application is listed in the marketplace without manual review of the application.

Methods for loading a current version of a web page in the background of a previous version of the web page are provided. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a request to display a web page, and providing, for display, a previously visited version of the web page in response to the request. The method also includes determining whether an updated version of the web page is available. When the determination indicates an updated version of the web page is available, the method includes loading the updated version of the web page while the previously visited version of the web page is provided for display, and replacing the display of the previously visited version of the web page with a display of the updated version of the web page after the updated version of the web page has been loaded. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

Background reloading of currently displayed content

A browser application programming interface is exposed to a web application to verify an identify of a user using user-specific identity information stored by the browser. Cryptographic information associated with the user is transmitted from the browser application programming interface to the web application. User-specific content is provided to the user through the web application if the web application verifies an identify of the user via the browser application programming interface using the cryptographic information.

Method and system for browser identity

A system for securely mediating messages between a native application and a browser application on a computing device includes running the browser application and a browser process that controls access by the browser-based application to the native resource. The browser process may use a data file distributed with the native application to allow or deny communications between the browser-based application and the native application. When communications are allowed the browser-based application accesses the native resource via the native application. In one implementation, the browser process may initiate a native messaging host and send communication requests to the native messaging host. The data file may be downloaded with the native application or separately from the native application from a site that distributes the native application or a site controlled by the developer of the native application. The data file identifies browser-based applications allowed to communicate with the native application.
