Extension summary
hello - you've found a chrome extension for sharing your nytimes crossword stats with friends (and the world!)
---there are three tabs to the extension---
"you" - the you tab summarizes your crossword stats. the table at the top displays the average time you took to complete different days of crosswords. the plots below include a histogram of all crossword times (colored by day) and a boxplot that communicates the same information.
"friends" - the friends tab lists your friends' scores for today's crossword (or the crossword you're viewing at the moment). you'll be able to see your friends' scores once you complete a crossword. you can also see if they used checks 😈
"world" - this shows three scatter plots, showing the distribution of times for each day of the crossword. in gold are your last 10 (or fewer) times for that day and in blue are the rest of the extension users' times! clicking on the colors in the legend brings the clicked group into focus.
---to add friends--- you can add friends but going to the friends tab, entering their gmail username in the text field, and hitting submit. text should appear below the box to tell you whether your friend addition was successful.
