1 month ago Haha, as this was more of a fun project, feel free to do it/adjust it. PRs are welcome.
Actually, I never intended this to be used like more than a minute as a demonstration or so and I personally would not suggest using it longer than that… :upside_down_face: (Though for reference, there is a negative review hinting at the same issue)
Some hints for implementation:
- here are the options: https://github.com/rugk/googerteller/blob/main/src/options/options.html The doc for the libs used can be found inside these, e.g.: https://github.com/TinyWebEx/AutomaticSettings/ (You can also have a look in my other extensions like Offline-QR-Code generator how to implement it.)
- And here is how it apparently loads the sound: https://github.com/rugk/googerteller/blob/b81ba0651bc6935925a2ce03b6371ecb52907ff1/src/background/modules/SoundModule.js#L12
Background
The present noise is way too intrusive. It makes me shut up and de-install Google teller. That should not be the case.
Proposed solution
My suggestion would be to add a choice of noises. Lets say, for starters, three noises. One of them I would suggest is a solemn 'thud' from a wood block (ask a drummer) Or a ringing of a triangle. Or maybe a real number-like counter on-screen or in a pop-up, counting google hits.
Alternatives
Additional context
Make the noise more acceptable.
Thx for Google-Teller!
