Description

Chrome extension which dynamically updates bookmarks based on the specified regular expression.

------------------------------------------------------------------
❓ What is this about?

Lately, I found myself wondering too much: "On what episode was I last on?", "What video in a playlist was I last watching?" and similar. So I decided to solve this problem by creating an extension where bookmarks can update themselves if a certain condition is met.

This allows us to track:
✔️ anime / TV shows
✔️ videos in a YouTube playlist
✔️ last read blog / documentation page
✔️ etc. (basically ANYTHING with URL!)

It also comes with its bookmark manager which lets you easily filter tracked bookmarks, edit the regular expression, etc.
You can also view the history of the 10 most recent links for each dynamic (tracked) bookmark.

To stop tracking a bookmark, just remove the regular expression (RegExp) from it.

------------------------------------------------------------------
🎓 What is "regular expression"?

It simply is a sequence of characters that define a search pattern. Ever did CTRL+F to find something on the page? Well, it's pretty much the same thing, but with extra special characters that let your search be more flexible.

In most cases, you won't even have to worry about the RegExp field since the automatically generated value will be good enough, but you might run into rare occasions where the site will be using unique URL notation which would require manual entry of this field.

An example of such a site is animekisa.tv. Let's see how we can generate regular expressions using a very simple tactic.

First, let's click on few episodes:
https://animekisa.tv/mo-dao-zu-shi-season-2-episode-3
https://animekisa.tv/mo-dao-zu-shi-season-2-episode-4

Now ask yourself, what part stays the same? - animekisa.tv/mo-dao-zu-shi-season-2

And that would be our value for the RegExp field!

Is it possible to allow downloaded pdfs in conjunction with the Doqment plugin to be updated? I currently use the Doqment pdf reader plugin for the auto dark/light changing and for the Mozilla UI. I got dynamic bookmarks because I thought regex is just what I needed, but it didn't let me use a non https:// page like mine. The start of the page in the search bar is chrome-extension:// and then it is whatever the plugin generates with the address of the pdf on my computer. Fortunately, the Doqment plugin allows the URL to update with the page number, so it would work if this plugin was able to dynamically update a non https:// address. Thanks!

Not sure if it works on Yandex or if I don't know how to make it work. I tried bookmarking 3 site, non appear in the manager. - pls explain what it's supposed to do because I can't tell. - Is it supposed to save your progress ie last video watched of a channel on YouTube? Or more specific to me. Last study module I was on in my online course? Right now it appears as though it doesn't work for Yandex.
