ChinaFinds Weekly Dev Blog

Recent and Upcomoing Changes

The two major things that have been in the works are the addition of accounts and changes to the chrome extension. In this blog I will discuse these changes and some future plans invloving them.

Accounts

Recently I have added accounts, these will play a vital part in future updates. I`ve already updated the chrome extension to use these accounts and have your saved products saved to this account. Currently you can favorite products on ChinaFinds and view your favorites with the new accounts.

I will be adding affiliate pages for accounts in the near future, these will take the products saved from the chrome extension or favorites from the site and add them to a page you will be able to customize. This will include social links, option to change agents for all products, some basic analytics (Views, clicks, etc) and use your affiliate link.

The telegram bot will be changed to use these new accounts aswell, this will remain a free feature for now but if useage increases there might need to be a small fee.

Chrome extension

The chrome extension has been updated to use a new account log in, if you used it previously you will need to create a new account here to sign in. Going foward I will be able to use this new authentication to create much more reliable features.

I will be adding a feature to send the product your viewing to your telegram channel, hopefully I will get this finished in the next couple weeks as it shouldnt take to much time to complete.

Mobile UI

Theres now a hamburger menu that will contain all future pages as well as a couple I`ve moved there. The overall mobile experience is better now.

Thanks for reading the blog, stay tuned for future updates.
