PiazzaLinks

PiazzaLinks is a Chrome Extension to increase your productivity while using Piazza. It allows you to quickly copy post IDs while you're using Piazza, and allows you to visit a Piazza post by directly typing its post number in the Omnibox. It can even look for references to Piazza posts on websites that you visit and convert them into hyperlinks! (This works great if you share posts with friends over Facebook Messenger, Slack or email.)

The extension is open-source, and the source code is available at https://github.com/seshrs/piazzaLinks. Fork the repository, make enhancements and submit pull requests! :D

Privacy Policy

This privacy policy is extremely straightforward. Although the chrome extension needs to view and manipulate information on the websites that you visit, all of that information is stored locally on your own browser. None of your information is sent to me or stored ‘in the cloud’.

Here are the gory details...
Locally, the extension monitors sites you visit, checking if you typed a Piazza post in the Omnibox, or checking if you are currently viewing a Piazza site.
The extension also runs a script on every website you visit. The script looks for references to Piazza posts, and converts them into hyperlinks.

But all of this happens on your own computer.
As noted above, all of these scripts run in your browser locally on your own computer. The extension does not collect any information from your computer, and it does not send any information out of your computer. You may verify the source code for this Chrome Extension, available at https://github.com/seshrs/piazzaLinks to verify that the above statements are true.

License
