[Southfield, MI/US | remote] Chrome Plugin Development in Elm/JS (short-term contract)

[mikeonslow]

Clarity Voice is seeking an Elm/JS developer for a short-term contract rebuilding a Chrome Plugin.

We have an existing Chrome plugin that we are white labelling: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/clarity-voice-click-to-ca/jkhehhegbcgehpkgngbphngdklackdca?hl=en-US

This plugin does the following:

• Reads and parses DOM to find telephone number(s) based on regex
• Re-draws DOM with parsed telephone numbers to show a "Call" button upon telephone number hover
  • Sends a request to one of our VoIP APIs that initiates a call based on the plugin's configuration settings (see below)
  • Has an options screen that allows for plugin configuration, setup and management (I believe this caches to localStorage)
    • Back-end API integration
    • Options like "Excluded Domains" and "Included Domains"
    • International Pre-fix, Dial String Length etc.

Currently, the plugin has all of the features we need but causes run-time errors with our Elm apps because it re-draws the DOM based on it's own arbitrary interval. We would like to have this plugin re-developed so that it works with Virtual DOM apps. I expect this to be a short project but we have a growing Elm codebase and there may be more opportunity for work in the future.

If anyone is interested or knows someone who is, please contact me at mikeo@clarityvoice.com with the following information:

• Your location (ex: Southfield, MI)
• Your Timezone (ex: -04:00 GMT)
• Your availability date to start on the project (ex: 10/02/2017)
• Your hourly price (USD)
• Accepted payment method(s)
• Your development experience level with the following technologies:
  • Elm
  • JavaScript
  • TypeScript

Some additional information I have gathered over the past couple days:

Problems were looking to solve

• Error that sometimes occurs when trying to click on "Call" button (appears to be related to plugin)
• Page actions are very slow when many DOM nodes to be traversed
• Missing call button in Pipedrive (reported by one user, I have not been able to reproduce)

Improvements

• Use a typed language (TypeScript) to provide more safety through app
• Remove use of jQuery to manipluate DOM
• Style application components based on Clarity color scheme:
  • Use Twitter Bootstrap for "Options" form
  • Use Bootswatch "Yeti" theme https://bootswatch.com/yeti/
  • Overall color scheme (for both in page components and form)
    • Primary: #FAA93B
    • Secondary: #E1E1E1
    • Accent: #757476
