Wedding Vendor Marketplace Review Age Highlighter

WHAT IT DOES This script scans wedding vendor marketplace pages—The Knot, WeddingWire, Zola, and others—for review dates and user feedback, then highlights reviews based on their age with color-coded indicators. Reviews are color-coded: green for recent (2 years). A floating panel shows a summary of review recency distribution with counts and percentages by age category, the average review age in months, and highlights for the most recent and oldest reviews. Users can toggle highlighting on/off, filter reviews by age category, and export review age data as CSV. All review data snapshots are stored per vendor and domain locally for tracking review patterns over time. WHERE IT RUNS Works on any wedding vendor marketplace page that displays reviews with dates—The Knot, WeddingWire, Zola, or any platform with vendor reviews. The script scans page content for review elements, date patterns, and feedback text, making it compatible with most wedding vendor review platforms. HOW TO USE The panel appears automatically when you visit a vendor review page. It detects reviews and displays the vendor name and review count. The distribution section shows a visual breakdown of review recency with color-coded bars and counts. The average review age is displayed with color-coding. The highlights section shows the oldest and newest reviews with their dates and age in months. Toggle "Highlight Reviews" to add color-coded borders and age badges directly on the page's review elements—green for recent, yellow for moderate, orange for aging, red for old. Each highlighted review shows an age badge with the category label and months. Click "Refresh Data" to rescan for updated reviews. Export all review data as CSV with reviewer name, date, age, category, rating, and text. Use "Clear History" to reset stored snapshots for the current domain. The panel automatically saves a snapshot each time you visit, building a history of review patterns for each vendor. TECHNICAL MECHANISM: MULTI-PASS REVIEW EXTRACTION WITH DATE PARSING AND COLOR-CODED HIGHLIGHTING The script uses a comprehensive detection strategy. First, it searches for review elements using selectors (.review, .feedback, .testimonial, .comment, etc.), and falls back to scanning text blocks that contain date patterns and review-related keywords. It extracts the review date by checking for multiple date formats (MM/DD/YYYY, Month DD, YYYY, DD Month YYYY) using a robust date parser. It also extracts the reviewer name (using patterns like "by [Name]" or "[Name] said"), rating (e.g., "4/5" or "4 stars"), and review text. The vendor name is extracted from the page title or from "Vendor:" patterns. Each review is stored with its parsed date, enabling age calculation. The age in months is calculated as (current date - review date) / 30 days. Age categories are defined as: Recent (2 years). Highlighting applies a left border and background color to each review element, and adds a floating badge showing the category label and months. The badge is positioned inline using a wrapper span for text node handling. All snapshots are stored with vendor name, review data, and timestamp, capped at 30 entries per domain. THE PANEL The review age highlighter appears in a draggable, resizable panel that remembers its position per site. The panel shows the vendor name, review count, recency distribution with color-coded bars, average review age, and oldest/newest review highlights. Drag by the header to reposition, collapse to a compact icon with a click, and resize using the bottom-right corner. The panel snaps to screen edges for tidy placement and closes with the Escape key. All settings—highlighting toggle and panel position—persist per website using GM_setValue, so your view returns exactly as you left it. PLEASE NOTE This script requires the free BotGentz extension to run. Review detection relies on the page displaying reviews with dates in a parsable format—some platforms may use non-standard layouts that prevent automatic detection. The script does not access your marketplace account data beyond what is visible on the page. All review data is stored locally in your browser via GM_setValue and never transmitted. The script can only detect data that is currently visible on the page—scroll to load all reviews before using the panel. Date parsing supports multiple formats but may not capture all variations. The highlighting modifies the page's DOM by adding borders, colors, and badges; if you experience visual conflicts, toggle highlighting off.
