Fixed notification bugs, removed the sound file (it wasn't playing anyway because of browser security settings).\n- 1.2 - Interval value now saved between sessions (you'll need to run at least one auto-refresh to save it). Added a 'randomness' toggle that randomises the refresh interval by up to 10%.\n- 1.1 - Updated with alert, dark mode, background refresh\n- 1.0 - Refresher release\n\n## Installation Guide\n\nPlease note: this extension is now live on the Chrome web store, and can easily be installed at this link:\n\nhttps://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/auto-refresh-extension/haiekoimldaeincnjchccogfbejgbmej\n\nThe below instructions are for if you want to install the files for testing or further development.\n\nFollow these simple steps to install the extension from GitHub onto your Chrome browser.\n\n### Step 1: Download the Extension Files\n1. Click on the green \"Code\" button at the top of the GitHub repository page.\n2. Choose the **Download ZIP** option to download the extension files to your computer.\n3. Extract the downloaded ZIP file to a location on your computer (you will need this folder in the next steps).\n\n### Step 2: Enable Developer Mode in Chrome\n1. Open the **Chrome** browser on your computer.\n2. In the address bar, type `chrome://extensions/` and press **Enter**.\n3. At the top right, toggle the switch for **Developer mode** to turn it on. You should see additional options such as \"Load unpacked\" appear at the top.\n\n### Step 3: Load the Extension\n1. On the **Extensions** page (`chrome://extensions/`), click the **Load unpacked** button.\n2. A file dialog will appear. Navigate to the folder where you extracted the extension files in Step 1, select the folder, and click **Select Folder** (on Windows) or **Open** (on macOS).\n3. The extension will now be loaded into Chrome, and you should see the Auto Refresh extension icon appear in your browser toolbar.\n\n### Step 4: Pin the Extension (Optional)\n1. In the **Chrome toolbar**, click the puzzle piece icon (Extensions).\n2. Find the **Auto Refresh** extension and click the pin icon next to it to keep it visible in your browser toolbar.\n\n## How to Use the Extension\n\n1. **Open the extension** by clicking on the Auto Refresh icon in your Chrome toolbar.\n2. **Set the refresh interval**:\n   - Enter the number of seconds for how often you want the page to automatically refresh.\n3. **Optional: Set a stop word**:\n   - Enter a word or phrase that, if found on the page, will automatically stop the refreshing. Leave this field blank if you don’t want the page to stop refreshing.\n4. **Start the auto-refresh**:\n   - Click the **Start Auto Refresh** button to begin refreshing the current webpage at the set interval.\n5. **Stop the auto-refresh**:\n   - To stop the auto-refresh manually, click the **Stop Auto Refresh** button.\n\n### Example Use Case:\n- Set a webpage to refresh every 10 seconds while waiting for a specific word (like \"available\" or \"sold out\") to appear. The extension will stop refreshing automatically when it finds that word.\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\nIf the extension is not working as expected:\n- Ensure that **Developer mode** is enabled in Chrome.\n- Make sure you have selected the correct folder when loading the extension.\n- Verify that you've entered a valid interval (at least 1 second).\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjoshuaisaact%2Fauto-refresh-nano","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjoshuaisaact%2Fauto-refresh-nano","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjoshuaisaact%2Fauto-refresh-nano/lists"}
