Do you subscribe to many official accounts, follow many bloggers, and collect many articles? Many of the collected articles are forgotten in the corner, maybe one day you want to have a reference value, and then look out, this is the portrayal of many people, I also do the same, online there is’ collection is equal to learning ‘self-mockery, I decided to make a tool to remind you whether the collection of articles really learned.

Introduction to the

Let me introduce this tool. It is actually a Chrome browser plug-in, called Collection-cleaner. As for the development of plug-in, I also wrote an introduction article last time. This article will be saved for a longer time. The idea is as follows:

  • 1. New collection of an article, the default saving time of the article 7 days, and then the countdown begins;
  • 2. One day before the time limit for deleting this article, the message notifies the user that some favorite articles are about to expire and be deleted;
  • 3. Every time the user opens the address of the article, the time limit for saving the article will be increased by 7 days;

The ultimate goal of this tool is to empty your favorites and actually learn these things, rather than letting them grow indefinitely, which is exactly what this plugin is trying to force you to do. (Actually, the idea was to save each article for a shorter period of time, but I didn’t do that.)
