Pipilika News is part of Pipilika which is the first Bengali Search Engine in Bangladesh developed by Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST). It crawls all kinds of news from different famous newspapers like- Prothom Alo, Daily Jugantor etc. Then these are published on Pipilika News. One of its key features are these three sections.

So, if you want to know the three kinds of news around the whole world, you have to hit on news.pipilika.com. But why not to make the feature more easy for the general public! That's why I made a chrome extension to show this news in a single click on your browser. If you want the full taste of Pipilika News, there is a link also integrated on the extension page.
When a user is in Offline or Loading The First Time After Click, the Extension Page shows the latest 15 news from each category which is saved in Chrome LocalStorage. When the user is scrolling to find the new data, if new data available it will show a popup to alert the user about new data arrival. Otherwise, scrolling will reveal new data as before. This extension also notifies the user about internet connection availability.
