Was actually thinking of doing this with some of the google-feedback code internally so we could automate regression testing of widgets...
Right now I have old iframe on the left, new on the right and can quickly eyeball it, but would love to have a computer do the boring stuff..

New widgets refactor code-name: Sprockets
Your widgets have become tiresome.
It evokes SNL, the Jetsons, and a tooth'd gear.

Ads folks, good? bad? otherwise?
I want to align the widgets we support with common dimensions used in web layout. What better place to start than the ad-units most sites use.
My goal here is to make widgets fit seamlessly into layouts and make widgets usable for ad campaigns - for example:
- Brand Follower Widget as an mrec.
- Community Widget latest posts with subscribe.
- etc.

This uses Lightning which is a frontend to buganizer for ideas collection and management. It's funny how a simplified interface can make such a difference.
Try it out!

How did I miss this? @110388429398517693608 -- how well is this supported?
Man I hope that we only need a style="display:block" tucked in there for converting links to widgets.

*LTBD* - Little Things, Big Difference.
Last week I had a very satisfying LTBD moment. I discovered that many webmasters were double escaping url params in their +1 widgets. Fixing this little thing caused a noticeable boost in +1 renders and creations and a big big drop in error logs -- big difference.
2 years ago when I was at LinkedIn this was a formal policy direct from Deep Nishar, head of PM. Each engineer was supposed to tackle an LTBD item for each sprint. These are the little things that make the product easier to use, clearer, or fix annoying bugs.
