- *Full features list coming soon*
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Notes⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
* You must be using the 'preview' or new interface for this extension to work correctly, though note that the code attempts to automatically press the 'Preview the New Portal' button if showing
* This extension can allow you to automatically sign in, but it is both disabled by default and completely optional, your email IS NOT sent anywhere and is stored in your own chrome sync using the chrome.storage.sync api
* I am in no way affiliated with Aeries Software Inc, the team behind Aeries SIS, or any of their counterparts. This is purely a project I'm doing myself to learn more about CSS and JS, and was only released as I realize that there are no similar extensions and it might be helpful to some.
* This is very much a work in progress, expect some errors, though I will try to keep releases as stable as possible. I am by no means a good coder, so please be patient
