This project aims to enhance an existing Chrome extension—originally designed to autofill loyalty program membership forms on individual retailer pages—by expanding it into a bulk autofill system with a dedicated user interface and real-time status tracking. The upgraded system will allow users to: Launch a dedicated HTML dashboard (outside the extension popup). Select multiple retailers from a persistent database using checkboxes. Monitor the real-time progress of autofill operations across multiple tabs. Key Features: Retailer Management: Display a list of saved retailers with selection checkboxes. Add new retailers by entering a name and membership page URL. Store retailer data persistently using Chrome Storage or IndexedDB. Bulk Processing: Handle selected retailers either sequentially or in parallel. Open each retailer’s membership page in a new tab and apply the tested autofill logic. Efficiently manage browser tab creation and cleanup. Status Tracking UI: Track each retailer's status through phases: In Queue → In Progress → Complete or Needs Attention. Provide visual feedback for success/failure and allow retrying failed attempts. Technical Challenges: Coordinating communication between the HTML UI, background scripts, and content scripts. Managing concurrent or sequential tab operations reliably. Persistently storing retailer data while keeping it user-editable. Implementing robust error handling and state updates across multiple contexts. This project involves complex orchestration between Chrome extension components and prioritizes modular, maintainable architecture for scale and resilience.
