• Build initial Chrome Extension manifest (V3)

Security & Privacy

• Implement Chrome Storage API with namespaced keys

• Local-first data persistence (no external transmission)

Phase 2 – Data Collection Expansion & UI/UX Layer

Core Features – Phase 2

• Implement search query tracking (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo)

• Add user interaction tracking:

  • Click events on interactive elements

  • Scroll depth milestones (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%)

  • Hover tracking with throttling

  • Form submissions and input field focus

Analytics Dashboard

• Build OptionsPage with React + Tailwind

• History view with timeline and raw data JSON explorer

• Overview dashboard: total visits, unique sites, time spent, top domains

• Tabbed interface for analytics categories (History, Overview, Searches, Interactions)

Technical Enhancements

• Implement modular content script injection on all pages

• Add mutation observers for SPA compatibility

• Optimize content scripts with throttling and debouncing

Phase 3 – AI Integration & Advanced Analytics

AI-Powered Insights

• Integrate Google Gemini API via secure background service

• Implement prompt engineering for behavioral summarization

• AI Summary Tab:

  • Productivity score (0–100)

  • Social media usage vs. work-related browsing

  • Time analysis (peak hours, session length, active periods)

  • Inferred interests and browsing categories

Privacy & Security Enhancements

• Add cookie monitoring (all cookies + change detection)

• Third-party cookie flagging and SameSite attribute analysis

• Privacy score calculation and improvement recommendations

• Add CSP (Content Security Policy) enforcement

Performance Optimizations

• Lazy load analytics modules

• Batch storage writes to reduce I/O load

• Memory management for large datasets

• Export feature (JSON with timestamped datasets)

Phase 4 – E-commerce Tracking & Public Release

E-commerce Tracking

• Detect and parse product views on Amazon, Flipkart, eBay, Walmart, Target

• Extract product metadata:

  • Name, price, brand, category, rating, availability

Extension Release

• Public release on Chrome Web Store

• Metadata submission (screenshots, privacy policy, manifest review)

• Initial marketing campaign and documentation launch

Phase 5 – Post-Launch, Developer Tools & Extensibility

Developer Platform

• Create plugin architecture for custom trackers (e.g., ecommerce verticals, niche platforms)

• Public API for read-only access to user analytics

• CLI-based export and analysis tools (Node.js SDK)

Advanced Features

• Behavioral trend prediction using AI

• Anomaly detection for browsing activity

• Productivity assistant (time budget warnings, focus summaries)

Sync & Monetization (Optional Opt-In)

• Encrypted cloud sync for users who opt in

• Token-based reward system for sharing anonymized data

• Monetization portal with user-controlled data licensing options

Ongoing – Maintenance & Compliance

• Regular browser compatibility checks (Chrome, Edge, Brave)

• Security audits (scripts, APIs, AI prompts)

• Extension manifest updates as Chrome APIs evolve

• GDPR/CCPA compliance verification

• Extension telemetry (opt-in and anonymized) for performance feedback.
