A basic Chrome extension that lets you join company loyalty programs easily.

This project aims to enhance an existing Chrome extension—originally designed to autofill loyalty program membership forms on individual retailer pages—by expanding it into a bulk autofill system with a dedicated user interface and real-time status tracking. The upgraded system will allow users to: Launch a dedicated HTML dashboard (outside the extension popup). Select multiple retailers from a persistent database using checkboxes. Monitor the real-time progress of autofill operations across multiple tabs. Key Features: Retailer Management: Display a list of saved retailers with selection checkboxes. Add new retailers by entering a name and membership page URL. Store retailer data persistently using Chrome Storage or IndexedDB. Bulk Processing: Handle selected retailers either sequentially or in parallel. Open each retailer’s membership page in a new tab and apply the tested autofill logic. Efficiently manage browser tab creation and cleanup. Status Tracking UI: Track each retailer's status through phases: In Queue → In Progress → Complete or Needs Attention. Provide visual feedback for success/failure and allow retrying failed attempts. Technical Challenges: Coordinating communication between the HTML UI, background scripts, and content scripts. Managing concurrent or sequential tab operations reliably. Persistently storing retailer data while keeping it user-editable. Implementing robust error handling and state updates across multiple contexts. This project involves complex orchestration between Chrome extension components and prioritizes modular, maintainable architecture for scale and resilience.
