credify

a chrome extension that watches VIT's course registration page for you.

what it does

you log into the vtopreg portal once, then the extension checks it every minute for:

• seats opening up in a full slot
• new slots added to a course
• new courses appearing, or a course becoming registerable

sends a desktop notification when any of these happen. no manual refreshing. You can also see the logs in the service worker console

tech stack

• javascript
• chrome api

installing the extension

• clone the repo or download zip https://github.com/IEEE-VIT/credify
• open chrome, go to chrome://extensions
• turn on developer mode (top right)
• click load unpacked (top left)
• select the extension folder from the cloned repo
• done, extension installed

using the extension

• log in at the registration portal
• that's it, it runs on its own, no button to click
• first run just records a baseline, no alerts yet
• alerts start once something actually changes
• categories you've already met the credit requirement for get skipped automatically

checking logs

logs are mirrored to the background service worker console:

• open chrome://extensions, find credify, click the service worker link
• console tab shows [credify] ... lines: sync status, slot counts, each alert
