[WIP] Take a Note Experiment

[gbaptista]

A major challenge in using this extension is knowing what to block or not. It would be awesome to have some "simplified mode" where blocking is done automatically. It's a hard goal, but I believe that with the collaboration of several people it is certainly possible!

By re-reading some discussions and suggestions, I see that creating notes on each block can be very useful. The macro idea is:

1. Create a simple way to write down details about each block.
2. Create a way where each person can share their notes (only if they want and in a transparent way where they know exactly what they are sharing, respecting their privacy).
3. Arrange these shared notes in a public Luminous database.
4. Use this database to create a "simplified mode" where codes are automatically identified and blocked (keeping the current format as an "advanced mode").

This PR is about the step 1..

An ugly draft just to give a visual context to the idea and start the discussion:

We can have a "take a note" button that turns the mouse into a crosshair:

By clicking on any of the blocks, a form would open to note details about it:

Sounds like an interesting idea?
What should be asked on the form?

I would love to hear more thoughts about it so I could build a solution that would help everyone.

I don't know if all of the categorizations are needed. Like if I'm watching YouTube but playback controls are suppressed, I would think that's major breakage while someone else may say "the video is playing so it isn't major breakage." As long as we can note what happened then someone can decide if it's worth allowing.

I see too many categories. Maybe there are only 3 categories:

• Breaks Site
• Minor annoyances, but site works
• OK, it's safe

...while what's the problem could have some more options?

Agreed

Nice! Thanks for the comments, I'll work on it.
