Change Icon automaticly

[dragonito]

Change Icon (-color...) when surfing on a site thats already added

[dragonito]

Perhaps with 3 states

• not added
• already added unread
• archived

Nice idea, but might be a bit intrusive for some people?

Other concern: this might create a lot of traffic (for client + server), since every URL change on any tab will trigger a request.

Have to think about this 😄

Traffic could be a problem. Perhaps its possible to cache it client side.

Colors would be lesser intrusive as changing icons design.

quick opinion

• colors are not self explanatory at all, would need tooltip or equivalent, not a big fan
• composite icons would be more obvious
  • + for new
  • :pen: for edit
  • ... archive icon
• about caching: please consider how many different URLs you are opening each and every day? To draw from my own experience: hundreds at least. And that would be really hard to cache except if you would store all URLs from MentalNote in the extension's local storage, which has to major problems
  • this might be really big an browser limitations for this kind of local storage is pretty limited iirc
  • 'cache invalidation'
