Edge Add-ons + Firefox listings
Edge runs Chromium MV3 — should accept the same zip with minimal changes. Firefox needs browser.* namespace bridging via webextension-polyfill and SW differences testing.

Chrome Web Store listing
Currently Magpie ships as an unpacked extension via GitHub Releases. Goal: get it on the Chrome Web Store for one-click install. Blockers: need 5 screenshots (1280×800), promo image (440×280), description text in EN+ZH, justification for each permission, and the $5 one-time developer registration. Review takes 3-7 days.

PR mode — open a pull request instead of pushing directly
For users who want to review before merging into main: each save creates a new branch + opens a PR rather than push to main directly. Implementation: options gains a "direct push / open PR" toggle; git-data.ts gains createBranch + createPullRequest; pipeline branches by config.

Per-domain custom turndown rules
Some sites have unique HTML structures (callout boxes, code blocks with line-numbers, etc.) that need custom turndown rules to convert cleanly. Let users register rules per hostname in options. Implementation: siteRules: Record in settings; turndown picks up rules matching article.sourceUrl.

Custom frontmatter fields
Let users define their own frontmatter schema in options (e.g. category, status: draft, custom enums). Currently the schema is hard-coded.

Multi-page collation — combine related articles into one capture
Pick 3+ related articles across tabs and combine them into a single markdown file (with section headings per source) committed in one go. Useful for building "reading collections" or topic digests.

KaTeX preview rendering in popup
Currently the popup preview shows raw $...$ math expressions. Render them visually for a better preview experience. Implementation: popup imports the katex library, applies it to preview textContent.

Restricted-page fallback via offscreen document
chrome:// / extension:// / Web Store pages can't be content-script injected, so Magpie can't capture them. Workaround: have the SW fetch the page URL into an offscreen document and run Readability there. Implementation: new src/offscreen/, manifest gains "offscreen" permission. Chrome 109+.

Offline retry queue for failed saves
Network drop or GitHub timeout currently means the article is lost (only cached briefly in SW memory). Queue failed saves to chrome.storage and retry when network comes back. Trade-off: serializing image bytes to storage is heavy — may need to chunk or cap. Estimated medium effort.

Hot-link image handling — add Referer header to fetch
Some CDNs (WeChat, JianShu, etc.) reject image requests without a matching Referer header → image download fails with 403. Currently Magpie keeps the remote URL on failure; ideally we should retry with a forged Referer. Implementation: use chrome.declarativeNetRequest to dynamically add Referer: on image fetches. Retry once on 403.

Custom slug input — edit folder name before save
Add an editable input in popup showing the current slug (pre-filled with translation/pinyin result). Lets users override when the auto-generated slug isn't satisfying. Implementation: popup adds an input, SAVE_TO_GITHUB message gains customSlug?: string field.

Multi-repo support — pick destination repo when saving
Right now Magpie commits to a single configured repo. Many users want: tech articles → repo A, life notes → repo B. Pick at save time via dropdown. Implementation sketch: Settings becomes Settings[] + defaultRepoIndex Options page gains a repo list manager (add/edit/delete) Popup gains a repo dropdown next to Save button Optional: auto-route by URL hostname

History list — show recently saved articles in popup
Add a tab to popup showing the most recent 20 saved articles: slug + time + commit URL. Lets users quickly revisit what they captured. Implementation sketch: New src/lib/storage/history.ts with chrome.storage.local ring buffer (20 entries) Push { slug, title, url, commitSha, savedAt } after each successful save Popup gains a tab toggle, new pane renders the list
