The Price Alert Extension is a powerful Chrome browser add-on I developed to help users track product prices online. It notifies users when the price of a product drops, ensuring they never miss a great deal. Designed with usability and performance in mind, the extension integrates with e-commerce sites and maintains a clean, intuitive interface.
Used for building the UI and core logic of the extension.
Utilized to manage background scripts, storage, and browser actions.
Provides real-time alerts to users when a product's price drops.
Implements DOM parsing to extract product price data from supported websites.
Built logic to detect price drops and notify users instantly.
Integrated seamlessly with the Chrome browser using manifest v3.
Ensured a smooth, non-intrusive user experience with minimal resource usage.
Designed a simple and accessible popup interface for quick alerts and product tracking.
This extension helps users save money by notifying them when their tracked products go on sale. It gained attention for its simplicity and effectiveness, especially among budget-conscious online shoppers.
The Price Alert Extension is a practical tool that showcases how a simple idea, when implemented effectively, can bring value to everyday online shoppers. It reflects my ability to combine front-end development with browser APIs to solve real-world problems. Moving forward, I aim to enhance this tool with multi-site price comparisons, AI-powered deal detection, and user accounts for cross-device sync.
