It appears you can get a boolean value for whether the tab is muted or not. We should be able to use this to count how many tabs are muted.

Tab Docs

It is possible to generate multiple export stats boxes if you repeatidly click on the export stats button:

The extension is currently only in English but it would be nice to have the information translated to popular languages.

For more information on how to use different locale in extensions view the Knowedge Base article.

Suggested Languages

• English
• French
• German
• Spanish
• Others TBD

Currently the export stats function is broken due to my selectors, I do feel like we need to revamp how the export feature works.

Exporting

Currently we can only export stats and it needs a rework, ideally the output of the tool looks a bit nicer, perhaps we can introduce automatic copy to the clipboard for improved user experience.

Send Via Email

It could be a nice option to include a way of sending the export via email, perhaps as a JSON file attachment or just using plaintext.

Importing

We also need the ability to import stats (using exported datastring). This will be useful for people to keep stats cross multiple computers up to date and would allow us to easily import test data.

There appears to be a bug with the longest active tab where the time spent on it is not adding up correctly. It also only runs when you change from an active tab so it might be nice to see if we can update the time whenever the extension popup button is clicked.

Once we have a version of the extension with several features it will be good to submit it to the Chrome Web Store for approval.

Here are a few useful links:

• Publish in the Chrome Web Store
• Hosting Extensions
• Chrome Developer Dashboard
• Webstore Getting Started
• Distributing Products Built for Chrome

There is currently no readme, ideally we would want this to explain the current features, screenshot and explain how people could contribute to the project.

This would allow us to provide a more detailed view to enable/disable options for the users.

We can hook into the built-in options link provided by Chrome on the extension list using:

"options_ui": {
    "page": "options.html",
    "chrome_style": true
}

This would then allow us to have a options.html which would work in a similar fashion to popup.html which would pull in any script/style dependencies and would allow for a custom look. For more information see the Options documentation.

Additional Config Options

• Enable per website tracking - this would store it as "Anonymous" instead of the website name
• Track incognito window usage - when permission given it would track incognito window data using "Incognito" as a website name
• Enable per tab tracking - this would store tab id's to keep track of single tabs you've had open for a while
• Configure alerts- alert the user when they hit over 20 active tabs
• Dark Theme
• Language support
• TBD

Additional Info

We could use this space to show additional information such as:

• In-depth graphs
• Daily digest
• Most active sites
• Most active type of site (social media, news, fun, shopping, etc)
• Longest tab (includes non-active)
• Send via email

We have an initial start but it would be good to have multi-day tracking that can be separated out on a day, week or month basis. This can be used later for graphing.

• Track each day
• Most active day of week
• Least active day of week
• Most active hour

These could be in the form of line or pie charts.

Example charts

The README.md is getting out of date so we will want to update it with info on the new features.

• Muted tabs
• Incognito tabs
• Pinned tabs
