KronoSense | Devpost

Inspiration

We have worked multiple jobs on campus, and being student employees we have to keep track of our 20 hr limit every week, However, its difficult to calculate how many hours of work we have left for the week, between 2-3 jobs. So, we thought of making this chrome extension which gives you the freedom of viewing Kronos data at you own terms.

What it does

The chrome extension is active once you are logged into your Kronos account, so, rest assured we don't have any sensitive information! It scrapes the data from the page and creates summarized and itemized data in the form of JSON objects Then using these objects we display the information as per the start-end date and the employer that you have selected.

How we built it

We used Javascript, HTML and CSS for building this. Currently its in development mode, but we look forward to posting it on the chrome extension library

Challenges we ran into

We had thought about a react native app. But, the challenges were to scrape data without handeling sensitive information like student credentials, to go around that, we found, chrome extension with simple javascript, HTML and CSS is easy and simple way.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We have somewhat reached to our vision of simpifying the way Kronos represents the data.

What we learned

We learned about how to handle API calls, How chrome extensions are implemented. How to deploy them.

What's next for KronoSense

The next for KronoSense will be actually going ahead with react native app, so that we make everything available on the smartphones and also, incorporating, visualization of data in some form.
