:pushpin: Chrome Extension to keep track of applications ad-hoc

Tack Google Chrome Extension

📌 Keep track of job applications ad-hoc

Why use the Tack Extension

The Chrome extension is meant to be an ad-hoc way to track any type of application you want to or have already applied. When the users are on a websitew with a posting, they don't need to stop browsing in order to open a tracker service on a separate tab. Instead, they can start tracking the given application via the popup form directly on the posting website.

This Chrome Extension is the fork of a school project regarding a broader service to track applications. The fork intends to remove dependencies on external web APIs, simplyfying the use cases and making the extension self contained.

You can find more information on the use cases this fork attempts to address, as well as insights into the design process in the Design Thinking write-up.

This project is a fork of an the JobHub job application tracker.
