Participation Proposal – SimPPL Data Donation Extension

[Navani001]

👋 Hello! I’m Navaneetha Krishnan (@Navani001)

I'd love to contribute to the Data Donation Extension project. Here’s a quick overview of my proposal and why I’d be a great fit:
🔧 Proposal Overview

I propose building a privacy-first browser extension (WebExtension standard) that allows users to voluntarily donate anonymized engagement data — such as time spent on social media posts, scroll depth, and click interactions. This data can help enrich open-source behavioral datasets while strictly preserving user privacy.
✅ Key Features:

🔐 Explicit opt-in consent

🧩 Anonymized tracking of engagement metrics

🏆 Optional gamification (leaderboards, badges)

🌐 Cross-browser support (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari)

🧪 Fully open-source, clean and modular codebase

🧑‍💻 Why Me?

🚀 Built and published an [AI Summarizer Browser Extension](https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/ai-summarizer/bfmgkngbbkfejlkpffkmohofeghmncgi) using Google Gemini API — currently 50+ active users.

💻 Full-stack developer with experience in:

    Frontend: React.js, Vite, Tailwind, Zustand

    Backend: Node.js, Prisma, PostgreSQL

    GenAI: Google Gemini API integration

    Testing & DevOps: Jest, Docker, GitHub Actions

🤝 Collaborative, feedback-driven, and passionate about building open-source tools for public good.

🚀 Let’s Build This Together!

I’d be happy to take the lead or collaborate on any module — whether it’s architecture setup, the consent flow, or engagement event tracking. I’m excited about contributing to SimPPL’s mission!
