An open-source Chrome extension to track job applications

I built JobTrail to solve my own problem of losing track of applications across different portals. It automatically detects when you apply for a job on LinkedIn, Indeed, or Naukri and logs it into a kanban dashboard. A few technical details: It is 100% local and privacy-first. There are zero external network requests, zero telemetry, and no accounts required. All data is strictly stored on your device in chrome.storage.local. The architecture is purely client-side utilizing Manifest V3. It is completely based on vanilla HTML, CSS, and JS. I chose to avoid external frameworks entirely to keep it lightweight. here is the link : Github
