Small Chrome extension that hides the inbox indicators and makes private tasks more visible

Chrome Asana Hacks

This small extension is here to increase your Asana productivity, it:

• Introduces "Silent mode", which removes the unread inbox notifications
• Introduces "meeting mode", which reduces visual clutter when using Asana in meetings
• Introduces an "Inbox" switch, which completely hides your inbox so you can focus on work
• Introduces a "Home" switch, which hides the new Home feature in the menu bar.

Next to that, the extension:

• Makes private tasks more prominent with a red background, making sure you never accidentaly create private tasks anymore.
• Makes project and tags in the task list more clear (wider) on large screens.

Installation

Get the extension through the Chrome web store or clone the repository and load it as an unpacked extension.

Development

1. yarn install
2. yarn watch while developing, load the dist/ folder in Chrome.
