Beyond revival - Ideas 💡

Features

• Continue exercise where left off
  • extension would remember the iframe url when stopping with the exercise, and set it as the url next time.
• Disabled/enabled time scheduling
  • e.g. allow browsing certain sites during lunch.
• [x] Render empty page when exercise site not defined (d153db4ebf2b34c34c1d7ac3f9890f7976e279c6)
  • [x] e.g. AntD's <Empty> component
• Resolve url's in a smarter way; take into consideration the www prefix.
• Track time wasted (#139)
• Reload all tabs in browser that are blocked once timeout passes
• Setup Google Analytics (https://developers.chrome.com/extensions/tut_analytics)
• Improve Chrome Extension page images & text. Currently looks like this:

UX

• Timeout widget increments should increase incrementally.
  • e.g. first, the increment is 5 minutes. Then, we increment to 30 minutes, after which the increment should be 15 minutes. Then after 1 hour the increment should be in hours.
• Put timeout widget for current website in popup menu.

Codebase

• Use different storage adapter for chrome offline testing
  • Use chrome.local instead of chrome.sync when in local environment. This in order to stress the sync storage adapter less, it has appeared to be the source of some extraneous warning logs.

• Enable Travis
  • Add some (meaningful) tests to start with, checking if the extension renders at all.

Performance

• [ ] Reduce the amount of storage calls made
  • Only update timeSpentLearning in Intercepted.js once exercising is done?

Refactoring (#152)

• [ ] Seek out any FIXME's and solve them
• [ ] Refactor storage access statements; make them all async/await
• [ ] Refactor storage retrieval procedure; it is always very alike. e.g. let { url } = res.url || defaultVal.
• [ ] Abstract away some logic into separate components; e.g. <CountdownTimer>
• [ ] Create some datamodels to make our datamodel clear, possibly use Typescript; e.g. for blockedSite, exerciseSite, etc.
  • We could store all statistics in blockedSite; amounts of intercepts etc.
  • Then also we could store timeSpentLearning in exerciseSite object.

Issue: when a website is down, loading its favicon causes the entire page to stay in loading state:

• [ ] Remove Github pages, refer to Chrome Webstore link instead.
