Refactor and change workings of handleLiveChanges.js
- I believe the eventListener could be on
DOMContentLoadedinstead of onload - I think the notifications code could be more specific instead of relying on indices? Maybe also add ids there or use some other more specific safe way of fetching that information? Too easy to break if Chess.com changes the html layout a tiny bit
- Do we need the delay for the getting notifications? What exactly is it that does? And will it run if you don't stay on chess.com for at least 60 seconds?
- In regards to #80 there might be a small edge case where you start changing the styles before it has changed initial styles into inline styles, i think changing the eventListener to
DOMContentLoadedcould definitely make this a much smaller if not non-existent edge case, and/or make buttons disabled until chess.com is loaded and we switched in the inline styling.

Agreed!
Do we need the delay for the getting notifications?
Wow. Looking at the code it looks like there's a 61 second delay before we get notification count. That's definitely an oversight. Instead, we should be getting notifications 1 second (that gives the Chess.com JS a minute to boot), then have an setInterval (or recurring setTimeout) every 60 seconds afterwards. Good catch.
