Loging every action

[MirzaHasnat]

Could we potentially implement a feature where every event in the Chrome extension is logged in local storage and displayed as notifications either in the content script or the extension popup?

For instance:

Notifications:

14 - 05 - 2024, 12:32 | User123 half swiped the chat
14 - 05 - 2024, 13:12 | User123 Opened the chat
14 - 05 - 2024, 15:46 | User123 typing...
... and so on.

another extension that I have done some work on implements this by a global debug variable that if enabled will console.log() events would that be useful?

or is this intended for integration with other scripts?

[MirzaHasnat]

this sounds good for devs, but let me rephares my ask:

for example here you can see facebook notification bell:

i was asking if its possible if we can show user notification history of users opened their chats and swipe half(and other releated features)

[IsaacHatton]

oh as in somewhere in the UI?

Personally, I think putting it in this menu as a per user history would be best but do you have any other ideas?

(the only problem is that when Snapchat updates their app, it may cause errors with the script if we try and edit existing page elements rather than just creating a floating icon like we currently do)

The best solution to this is likely saving to localStorage and letting the user export the logs by text file.

And as you said @IsaacHatton, manipulating the existing DOM elements is unmaintainable without consistent selectors.

[MirzaHasnat]

Yup thats great idea,

how about if we float the icon here(whenever user open someone's chat):

and it will update the data inside that popup as user change(or open) someone chat

in this senario we don't have to worry about selectors

Let me know if it will work?

Yep I agree with @dclstn here, if this is done in real time I'm sure another extension could be written to look at the localStorage and that one can deal with the UI changes if that's a particually desired feature.

It has also been requested that messages content be logged
