    I built a web-extension to enhance the MapleLegends website experience. It shows server status with a plot of 7 day history and your account information if you are logged in. It also inserts a plot in the leveling history.

    Here's a small video of what it does in a nutshell. Below is a screenshot of the popup (v0.2.0).

    You can get this for Firefox and Chrome:
    The source is on Github:

    Here a couple features that I want to add:
    • Have the add-on remember the last time you voted and provide a quick direct link to the voting page for your account (as long as you've logged in at least once).
    • Provide an export button for leveling data (to help crowd source information about leveling locations).
    • Use the website background and nicer looking fonts in the pop-up.
    I hope you find this useful, feel free to let me know if there are any features that you'd be interested in.

    I've made some updates to the web-extension that are currently in review and should be available soon (v0.3.0).

    First, I made improvements to the UI. It looks pretty good now.

    Secondly, I've added some features to the voting page. The extension will keep track of every time you visit GTOP of TOPG and store it in local history. If you are not logged in, it will give you the option manually enter an account name to vote. By default, it uses the account name of the last visit.

    Hopefully this should make voting easier since you don't have to be logged in. This uses the urls from the Discord announcement.

    This looks cool, nicely done.

    But it still looks fishy to me, so I won't be using it XD

    Good luck with everything and future projects.

    That's fair, software runs on trust as much as technical merit. The code is open-source and does go through a manual audit via the Firefox Addons and the Chrome Web store. The web extensions permissions model is explicit, you can see the manifest here which are the domains and permissions that it asks for during runtime.

    I just want to build things and share them with the community (see owlrepo, online-users, monsterbook transcriptions, and this dataviz). No ill-intent or fishy business on my end -- I do this for fun. And it does work well (the logged-out voting, that is).

    After seeing the level chart, there's actually something I'm curious is possible... A death frequency tracker. Imagine the x-axis as dates, and y-axis as # of deaths. Would be interesting to see specific clusters :eek: (might just be me) LOL but seriously great work as usual! ^^

    Plotting deaths in some way sounds interesting! I think the next version will probably include a data export (levels, deaths, fame history, cash shop purchases), so maybe worth adding a default plot for each chart, too.
