ReadME

Inspiration 💡

  • We all might have downloaded the Reading List App on our phone, used it for a few days, then left it idle. I have done the same plenty of times. I realized the primary reason for it not being effective is that we are not reminded of its presence constantly. Be it a student or a working being, we spend most of our time on a web browser, writing emails and assignments. Therefore, I decided to build this application as a web-extension. If the application stays right in front of your eyes most of the time, you are likely to use it.

What it does ⚙️

ReadME is a Chrome Extension built to make your life more structured and easy-

🗒Reading Lists Accessible: We spend most of our time on the web browser. So, it's a great idea to keep all your notes in the browser itself. You can also add links with the list item created.

🗒Search Lists: You can also search from the lists. This makes accessing items real quick.

How I built it 👩‍💻

I have used HTML, CSS, and Javascript to build this extension.

Challenges we ran into ⚠️

Though the extension seems easy to use, it wasn't easy to build this using pure Javascript.

  • onclick() -> According to the security policy, we cannot use onclick() function in chrome extensions. This took away a lot of time debugging and finally changing the code.

Usage 🔖

Steps to run the extension:

  • Open chrome://extensions/ on your google chrome web browser.
  • Download the zip file of the repository and extract it (or just clone the repo).
  • Switch to development mode in the extensions tab.
  • Unpack the folder cloned.

Thats it,now run the extension on any of your tabs.

Accomplishments that we're proud of 🚀

I could finish the project in a short span of time; it's, of course, an achievement for me. Despite participating solo, I could finish it in time using vanilla Javascript and not any libraries.
