How the Extension Works Bookmark Fetching Process

1. Authentication & Initialization :

   • Uses existing user session for authentication.
   • Initializes browser automation tools like Puppeteer or Selenium.

2. Navigation Phase :

   • Launches the browser and navigates to the X.com/i/bookmarks bookmarks page.
   • Verifies successful login state and handles potential redirects.

3. Data Extraction :

   • Implements DOM scraping using specified selectors to extract tweet text, URLs, and images.
   • Creates a data structure to store extracted elements.

4. Dynamic Loading :

   • Simulates scrolling with a delay to load more bookmarks.
   • Detects new elements loaded after each scroll and repeats extraction.

5. Data Storage :

   • Formats extracted data into CSV or JSON.
   • Saves data locally with a unique filename using a timestamp.

6. Scheduled Task :

   • Uses Chrome's alarm API for daily scheduling.
   • Fetches a random bookmark from stored data once a day.

7. Rendering :

   • Displays the selected bookmark in a side-div element on the page.
   • Provides user interaction handlers for toggling visibility and refreshing bookmarks.

Problems and Additions (Future Versions) Problems

• Webhook for New Bookmarks : Need to intercept network requests for creating bookmarks.
• Handling Deleted Bookmarks : No network requests available for detecting deletions.
• Large Number of Bookmarks : Chrome storage may fail with more than 100 bookmarks; consider using IndexedDB.
• Dynamically Changing Bookmarks : Handle un-bookmarked tweets effectively. Additions
• Gemini API Integration : Use the Gemini API key to render related search results on the bookmark display.
• Enhanced UI : Improve the user interface with subtle animations and better error handling.
• Advanced Filtering : Allow users to filter bookmarks based on specific criteria.

Conclusion

Wasurenbo is a powerful tool for managing bookmarks on X.com, providing automation and ease of use. Future versions aim to enhance functionality and address current limitations.
