As of 4/29/18, our extension has no auto-popup feature. Whenever a user visits a page that has a deal or cashback reward, the only "notification" the user receives is the extension icon lighting up. However, this "notification" is not very noticable.

Instead, we should allow users to enable a secondary notification system: popup notifications. This feature would be completely opt-in and disabled by default.

This feature would show the deals and cashback rewards right on the content of the webpage. It would probably hover over the webpage content in the top-right or show up as a banner above the page's content.

In order to ship this feature, we need to do the following:

  • Finalize the design of the popup and
  • Finalize the user experience and control flow
  • Create the popup
  • Add in the logic to src/background.js to auto-show this feature on specific websites
  • Create an options page so that users can opt-in to this feature
  • Figure out what extra chrome permissions this feature would need
  • Add in options to disable the popup for certain time periods on a website
  • Automatically show the options page when the extension is installed
