YouTube Time Saver Extension

Project Ulysses: Chrome Extension for Improving YouTube Habits

Project Ulysses is a Chrome extension designed to help users improve their YouTube viewing habits. It tracks time spent watching \"wasted videos\" versus regular videos, and provides users with insights and warnings to promote better time management.

Additionally, the extension personalizes recommendations using user feedback and preferences, helping users make more informed decisions about their video-watching habits.


[Currently Developed Features]
1. Wasted Time Timer
When watching wasted videos, a timer is displayed on the screen showing the accumulated \"wasted time.\"

2. Statistics Popup
Clicking the extension icon opens a popup where users can view their stats.
Pressing the Stats button shows a graph comparing the total time spent on wasted videos versus regular videos.

3. Preference Report Based on a set of 20 emotional needs, the extension generates a personalized preference report for each user, helping them understand their unique viewing patterns.
This report is further personalized through user feedback, using ChatGPT-4o-mini to adjust preferences based on input provided over time.

4. Rated Videos Users can rate the videos they've watched on a scale from 1 to 5 stars. These ratings are stored in chrome.storage.local and can be accessed through the popup.
The Rated Videos section in popup displays the channel name, video title, and rating in a clean, table-like format. Ratings are color-coded with a smooth gradient ranging from gray (low ratings) to green (high ratings), making it easy for users to assess their preferences.

5. Reset Button
The popup includes a reset button to clear all tracked time data.
