HLTV Match Reminder

About

HLTV MATCH REMINDER —⚡️

Never miss another CS2 match! This extension injects a polished reminder widget directly on HLTV.org match pages. Pick an offset, tap Set, and relax—when the time comes you’ll hear a custom chime, see team logos, tournament name, countdown, LIVE glow, and snooze controls. The toolbar popup shows every scheduled reminder with a badge counter so you always know what’s next.

✨ HIGHLIGHTS
• 🛰️ Inline widget on HLTV match pages (after the teams box) with hours/minutes selector and quick chips (+5/+15/+30/+60/+120).  
• 🧊 Modern dark UI, glassy cards, status pills, auto logos, fallback initials, and LIVE glow until cleanup.  
• 🧩 Flexible behavior: open a mini popup window, a full browser tab, or go notification-only (silent).  
• 🔁 Persistent alerts: optional repeat-tab mode reopens/focuses the reminder tab every 5 minutes until you snooze/dismiss/open.  
• 🔊 Custom alert sound bundled (`alert.mp3`) with a smooth Web Audio fallback.  
• 😴 Snooze button (+5 min) inside the reminder window and notification action.  
• 🔢 Badge counter on the action icon shows how many reminders are queued.  
• 🛡️ Heartbeat + immediate-fire logic catches missed alarms and fires instantly if you schedule something already due.  
• 🧠 Auto metadata healing: keeps event names, logos, and titles in sync even if HLTV changes markup.

🚀 HOW IT WORKS
1) Open any HLTV match (`hltv.org/matches/...`).  
2) Use the embedded widget to pick an offset and hit Set.  
3) At reminder time, you’ll get a notification plus the reminder UI (popup/tab) with Snooze/Open/Dismiss + volume slider.  
4) Manage upcoming matches from the extension popup—open or cancel with one click.  
5) Configure everything in Options: behavior, auto-close, volume, quick chips, default offset, show notification, require interaction, LIVE retention, repeat tab.

⚙️ OPTIONS YOU CAN TWEAK
• Reminder behavior: mini popup / new tab / notification-only.  
• Show notification + require click to dismiss.  
• Play sound, auto-close seconds, master volume slider.  
• Default offset minutes, custom quick chips, live card retention hours.  
• Repeat reminder tab toggle (re-fire every 5 min until acknowledged).

🔐 PRIVACY & PERMISSIONS
No analytics, tracking, or external calls. Everything runs locally. Requested scopes:  
• `alarms` – schedule reminders.  
• `notifications` – show system toasts.  
• `storage` – save reminders/settings.  
• `tabs` – open HLTV match pages and reminder tabs.  
• `*://www.hltv.org/*` – read team/event/time info and inject the widget.

🧩 TROUBLESHOOTING
• No popup/notification? Check the Options page: if behavior = Notification-only, you won’t see a window. Ensure Chrome notifications are enabled in Windows/macOS settings.  
• Missed firing time? The heartbeat scans every minute; it will still trigger ASAP. Reload the extension from `chrome://extensions` if the service worker was killed.  
• Logos missing? HLTV sometimes swaps attributes; the extension falls back to letter avatars automatically.  
• Reminder closes too quickly? Increase auto-close seconds or set to 0 to keep the window open.  
• Want persistent alerts? Enable Repeat reminder tab under Options → Reminder window.
