wikitimer's Issues

Create browser action UI

Browser action page is missing.

Use a timer to detect when the daily allotted time is reached.

Right now, because we only check and redirect the user during tab events, we're unable to detect the user reaching the limit while staying on a wikipedia page. e.g., user starts the browser, opens a wikipedia page and stays on it for a long time. We fail to detect cases like these.

Timers must be used to detect cases like these and then user must be redirected.

Doesn't seem to work in incognito mode

As in title. Fix this.

Code refactor

gatekeeper.js contains a lot of utility code that can be used by other modules as well. Separate that code into another module so it can be imported and used.

Stop counting the time when browser window is not active.

Right now, we keep counting the user's wikipedia browsing time even when she switched to another application window. This must be fixed.

Reset the time limit every day.

Right now, the time limit is permanent - not per day. So, if the limit is reached once, we can never browse wikipedia pages again. Fix this by using daily limit instead.

Settings page

Create a main settings page for this extension and link to it in the browser action ui. This settings page should let the user configure all settings for this extension.

Extension should allow users to configure the list of blocked sites.

Right now, only wikipedia.org is being timed/blocked. User should be able to configure a list of websites in the settings page instead.
