Hi HN, me and my bf created this little project to help me improve my programming skills. It was a great and fun way to learn about apis, spiders and how to build an extension!

I wanted to share it to get some feedback and see how we can improve it to be more useful.

There are a few out there already but we decided to make one that loaded ratings a little faster by not firing off a request to the FSA api on every page load. Their api is a bit slow and can cause massive delays when loading a page with 50+ takeaways on it. So we created our own api to help improve loading times.
