Yessss, I fixed the backend and cleaned up all other errors. Then I made some cute potato icons to finish the project. This one was pretty short just to brush up on my Javascript and test out these cool Flavortown features!

I made the backend work!!

Then broke it five minutes later..

I got greedy trying to add a few extra features like conformational changes to the tabs on google when they are asleep and broke the functionality of the extension, but at least the frontend looks cooler! I also made it so that you can sleep (or wake up) each tab separately. I tried debugging and gave up, but fear not, I will be back! (Yes I’m rewatching AOT, it’s just so peak)

Le Potato Has Been Created! 🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔

The extension has been created and I decided to go with a potato theme lol

I also finished the base frontend for when the extension is actually clicked where you can select how much time you want your tabs to be untouched for before the magic potato puts them to sleep and saves you some yummy RAM :)

I still need a cute potato mascot but that’s a story for another devlog…
