Feature suggestion: display deviation from 180 degrees

Hi Ben, thanks for making a brilliant tool!
Could you add another number to the display showing deviation from 180 degrees?
Currently I subtract the smaller angle from 180 to calculate deviation. Would be great if that could be displayed.
Thanks.

Protractor is freezing on the screen after use or after opening, closing, and reopening.

Hello,
I'm finding that since early last week, the extension has not been working properly. When I open it and use it, it will function correctly for some time and then freeze. At times, it will freeze and not even close. I'll have to restart the browser completely. Have you had this happen or know a fix for this? I love the extension!

Use on Map

When I select "counter-clockwise" it's not flipping the degrees. I need to use it as an overlay on a map.

Let it overhang the screen?

Hello! I love the extension - my daughter does school at home and is just starting to work with protractors, and this is so much better than watching her try to press a plastic protractor up against her screen. The only issue I have is that the protractor won't overhang the screen edge, so if an angle you need to measure is drawn too close to the side (like math problems on a page frequently are), the tool doesn't do much good. If overhanging the screen is too difficult, maybe allow users to choose between a 360, 180 and 90 degree protractor so that it is more adaptable?

reset to default position

This extension is great! But how to reset it to default setting/position? I would suggest to make a button to reset it to default position. Thank you very much.

HOw do I use it?

I've installed but can't work out how to bring it up on my screen? Nothing in any docs I've read either.

Using with maps

For use on maps it would be useful to have a "points of the compass option" i.e. label 90° as East (or just E), 45° as NE etc (when N, 0° is at the top) but also show the intermediate points e.g. NNE at 22.5° and possibly even NEbyN at 33.75°

At least permit the marker spacing option to be set to 22.5

Pointing 0 degree north

My protractor has 0 degrees where 90 degrees should be. Is there a way to rotate the protractor?

Extension loads "Welcome FAQs" page on chrome devices

Hi Ben!

First of all, I love this extension! I've been trying it out on some of our school chrome books because the 7th grade teacher wanted the ability for her students to use an onscreen protractor. With how organizations deploy (I'm still very new to Google Workspace, so this is probably part of my problem!) extensions and how the school is set up, I would have to install it on everybody's Chromebook (which is not a problem), but in my testing, every time a student will login to their device, the "Welcome FAQs" tab loads and Chrome makes it the tab displayed instead of the school's set home page.

I installed the extension on my personal, non-chromebook, computer, and the "Welcome" tab only loaded that first time and I never see it again. I'm guessing there's something going on where managed Chromebooks think the extension is being installed for the first time every time someone logs in?

I've tried a few other extensions and have not run into this problem before.

Again, it's an amazing extension! I really hope we will be able to use it long-term!

Sincerely,

Michael
