Inspiration

I've had most of my coding experience in Java through university. Though I've had some previous experience in web design, I've never really taken the opportunity to deeply learn a web language like JavaScript. This was my first time also working on any kind of personal project so I was a little lost at where to start first. I was hoping to build some kind of chrome extension in order to get used to working with JavaScript API's and hopefully make something nice in the process.

What it does

The initial idea for the extension was that it would show a recipient old snapshots of their history by providing the titles of websites they've visited from the day before, a week ago, a month ago, and a year ago when a user opens a new tab. I wasn't able to dedicate as much time so I wasn't able to fully build the entire extension.

How I built it

I used a bootstrap theme for the new tab design and javascript functionality with the chrome api.

Challenges I ran into

Since I didn't dedicate as much time as I wanted to building the extension, I wasn't able to get past many of the little bugs I encountered.This was my first time using the chrome API so I had to get familiar with the setup of chrome extensions.

What I learned

I need to dedicate more time to my projects and understand what is the quickest ways for me to learn the material I need in order to build my projects.

What's next

Hopefully make a more advanced and useful chrome extension (after completing this one). Then start to delve into more JavaScript and Web Design based projects
