[Hidden-tech] Chrome extension coder needed for small school project ($2, 000)

[Bram Moreinis]

Hi Folks.

*TL;DR: * Short term JS / JQuery coder with recent Chrome Extension 
experience needed to update project. $2K. RSVP by 12/9?

*Background: *10 teams across the country were picked to finish new or 
upgraded educational projects that teach students Digital Literacy, a 
national priority.  My team project, Fake News Fitness 
<https://fakenewsfitness.org>,  teaches students a bit about the 
informational ecosystem on the web to help recognize misinformation 
before spreading it, and even argue people off believing it.

Trump's election was the impetus, and the way social media and 
misinformation have joined forces since to affect public health (mask 
and vaccine refusal), democracy ("Stop the Steal" claims) and the planet 
(PR by fossil fuel companies) makes this an every more urgent priority 
for our public schools to address. I hope the mission is of interest to 
everyone on Hidden-Tech.

*Task: *The core tech is a Chrome extension that pops up a form to 
authenticate a user, pulls data from whatever web page is active, 
populates a the form with it, takes user entered data, and sends the 
data via JSON/REST, creating a document. We used to use Drupal, but now 
just want a Google Doc created.

The extension stopped working a few years ago (changes to Chrome API / 
Manifest, plus a WHOIS archive change) after our coder moved to CA. Our 
new coder's new baby is in the way of us making any progress on some 
small but critical updates.

I need someone signed up by December 9th. We have a $2,000 budget, which 
isn't much but there's not much to do here, by my lights. Here's how it 
worked 3 years ago:

We're making it simpler now.

 1. *Phase 1:* No authentication.  On submit, display the extracted +
    submitted data for copy-paste into a Google Doc.
 2. *Phase 2:* Authenticate as a Google user, and populate a Google Doc
    with the extracted + submitted form data.

*Reference:*

Here's the plugin page:

Here's the repo: https://github.com/bmoreinis/fakenews

Please reply if you can help with this?  I can do enough HTML/CSS/JS to 
add fields, make the form cleaner, optimize the code -- I just don't 
know enough about the Chrome API to get it working again.

Thanks,

Bram
