SYNC INDEX

About

SYNC INDEX is a curated catalog for physical printed culture — art books, photo books, design books,  
  zines, magazines, lookbooks, exhibition catalogs. The Chrome extension turns any web page into a      
  one-click logging surface for your SYNC collection at sync-index.org.
                                                                                                        
  THREE DETECTION MODES                                           

  • ISBN — When the active page contains a valid ISBN-13, the extension looks it up in the SYNC catalog.
   If it's already there, save to your Collection, Wishlist, or Draft. If not, the SYNC lookup chain
  (ISBNdb + Google Books + DNB) pre-fills the log form.                                                 
                                                                  
  • Shopify — On any Shopify product page (art book shops, indie publishers, vintage magazine stores),  
  the extension reads the product JSON for title, creator, year, page count, description, and all
  product images at full resolution. Choose subject + format, pick Collection or Wishlist, and log it — 
  all from the popup, no redirect.                                

  • Generic — On any other page, log with the page title and source URL pre-filled.                     
   
  THE SOURCE URL BECOMES A BUY LINK                                                                     
                                                                  
  Whenever you log an item from a vendor's site (offbrandlibrary.com, mackbooks.co.uk, idea-books.com,  
  etc.), the source page automatically becomes the first BUY link on the SYNC item page — so when
  someone else discovers the same object via SYNC, they can find a copy.                                
                                                                  
  PRIVACY                                                                                               
  
  The extension only reads content from the active tab when you click the icon. It never reads from     
  other tabs and never runs automatically. Page content goes only to sync-index.org. We never collect
  browsing history, location, or financial data. Full policy: sync-index.org/privacy
