Pause recording of history/activity #38

Closed blackforestboi closed 7 years ago

blackforestboi commented 7 years ago

A user should be able to pause the recording of their history and activity, for periods of time.

Proposed Workflow: 1) Open Dropdown:

screen shot 2017-03-01 at 19 14 29

2) Select "Pause WebMemex" 3) Select time frame in hours 4) confirm

Now everytime the user opens the popup, there should be the ability to stop the pause. Maybe just show a timer than runs down with a small X Button on the side. Example: Pause for: 3:45h x

Do you mean you would like to pause the logging of your browsing? I think that could be useful. Browsers do have incognito window/tabs that have a very similar purpose, and that are more thorough as it also prevents the visits from being added to the browser's history log. It could be that something less thorough is sometimes desired though, as incognito mode completely disables the extension.

@Treora Good point, might be something that we can postpone for later. The only use case I see it as useful to pause is that the extension is still usable while doing incognito research.

Ok, closing this for now then.
