## Extension Features
### Icon helper
A small icon appears when you're watching a video that has been verified on CaptainFact.io. It
tells you, based on votes, if the statement you're hearing (or what is shown) is believed to be
true or false.
### Facts overlay
When clicked, the CaptainFact icon displays facts and comments about current statement and
their respective scores.
## Development
### Start the API
See https://github.com/CaptainFact/captain-fact-api
### Run local extension development server
- Install (if you don't have them):
- [Node.js](http://nodejs.org)
- App dependencies: `npm install`
- `npm start` - Start the overlay injector test pages on http://localhost:3342
- `npm run test` - Runs all unit tests
## FAQ
- Why do you need storage permissions?
We store a local cache of videos IDs that exist on CaptainFact. This cache gets updated when you visit YouTube
if it's older than 15 minutes. This is a privacy improvement that guarantees we don't track the videos you're
watching and don't send unnecessary requests.
- Why do you need Youtube permissions?
To be able to inject the facts overlay on YouTube videos.
- Why do you only inject on youtube.com and not in embedded players everywhere else?
We may want to implement this in a separate release in the future. We don't want to implement
this feature in main extension cause it means asking for permissions to access all your sites.
- Can I add sources on videos directly from the extension?
Not at the moment.
