FAQPage Schema Generator Development Log

You don’t need to visit this page. You are wasting your time.

Maybe all you want is to use this tool: https://durbarghosh.com/tool/faqpage-schema-generator1/

Here I will share all the versions of FAQSchema so that you can see the progress.

These will be without style (CSS), as it will mess up many things and for this blog article, I don’t want to waste time fixing those.

Here you can enter questions and answers individually. Takes a bit of time, but better than coding it yourself. But if you are on WordPress will suggest you download the ultimate blocks plugin for writing FAQs than using V1.

This way of generating schema is entirely original. I couldn’t find anyone who has ever made it this simple. Just copy and paste all your FAQs all at once, hit the “Generate” button, and you have it. The only catch is, the Questions should be in header format (h1…h6), which they should be anyway.

Added a refresh button. Previously once you have generated Schema once, you could not generate it again without refreshing the page. It was a really bad experience, people would just think that the tool is not working. So, added a refresh button, though there can be a better way to deal with it, for now, this is enough. When the tool doesn’t work the second time, people won’t miss the refresh button (I hope).

Well, I don’t know why the refresh button is not appearing in the above code here. I swear, it is there. Look here, how the same code is appearing when I try to open it locally.

Previously the tool didn’t support if the answers had multiple paragraphs. Now if there are paragraphs, it will show the as /n in the schema markup code.

Also, I have attempted to write Schema for hyperlinks, but have not been successful yet.

If that’s ready, I will just stop it here. It is already functionally 10 times better than what exists. I will focus on developing other essential tools instead.

But here are things that can be improved even further –

• it can update the code live, with no need to click generate button, and no need for the refresh button
• When pasting the code, the textarea only retains the HTML elements but does not retain the style (CSS). Right now it retains the style as well, which is unnecessary and I do not like it. E.g. blogger’s text editor retains the style like mine now, while medium, and Grammarly editors do not. I want it to make like medium, Grammarly.
• remove unnecessary \n’s, not a deal breaker, but good to have
• Output area editable, so that people can edit the code if needed, then copy
