Automated Job Filler
Extension
I wanted a Chrome extension that would fill in a job application the second I opened one. What's in the repository is an existing Chrome Web Store extension called Kumquat, unpacked and committed the way it came.

Sheet 02 of 08/The idea
What I said I was making
The description I put on the repository says I was building a Google extension that would apply to jobs for me when I opened an application from LinkedIn, Glassdoor or Indeed.
Sheet 03 of 08/The repo
What's in the repository
What got committed is an existing Chrome Web Store extension called Kumquat, version 0.4. It's unpacked, and the store's own signing metadata is still sitting in the folder.
Sheet 04 of 08/What it does
What that extension does
It only runs on Workday, Greenhouse, Lever and Taleo pages. It fills them in from an options form that asks for a name, address, university, GPA, three past jobs, and a Taleo username, password and security question answer.
Sheet 05 of 08/My part
How much of it is mine
Every file matches the store package except for line endings and the change Chrome makes to the manifest when it unpacks an extension. What's mine comes down to a README that says "currently WIP" and four icon files renamed to IEB, and one of those is byte identical to the original.
