Take back control over your web applications and processes by creating your personal mission control center!

This is a specialized web scraping and data extraction tool for the single purpose of tracking and plotting numeric values on websites.

PERMISSIONS AND PRIVACY NOTICE:

This extension requires full permission for website content to track the numbers on pages you select, including saving the passwords for automation. As this is a permission with increased risks - I promise to do my best to make it as secure and privacy-protecting as possible. The extension will also execute some localhost-bound requests which make sense for programmatic access to tracked data and will be ignored at local installation by default.

The extension is open source, with full source code available at https://github.com/grandrew/plotticotrack

USAGE:

1. Click "Add", paste a website URL in URL field
2. Click "Visit and start"
3. Click "Select ... line" for the plot color you want (can have all three)
4. Click on the number to track
5. Click "Start updating"

There is optional "Auto" checkbox - when checked, it will auto-start updating the page when browser is started. As the settings are synchronized, it is recommended to have a separate chrome user for 'Auto' feature.

To view the plot in real-time, click "View". To read about all the features of Plottico, please visit https://plotti.co

Plotti.co Tracker includes an entropy window selector which tracks the exact information element you click on the page; also packs automatic macro recorder and password manager for complete automation. APIs to programmatically access extracted data available.

Please report bugs to https://github.com/grandrew/plotticotrack or in comments!
