About

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.
