Feature Request: Add state of reviewed file

[miguel-botelho]

I use this extension a lot for doing Code Reviews on Github. Something that would make my job a lot easier would be the ability to select which file I had already reviewed or not.

Do you think that's something that is easy to do, at the moment? (I think it may not be trivial, since there's no database or something that stores any type of state)

Also, can you give me some guidelines on how to contribute to this project, so I could maybe start developing this, if I have enough time?

Hey @miguel-botelho, I can see how this feature can be useful. And, using Local Storage can be a good enough solution to keep track of checked files.

My goal is to keep the extension as simple as possible though. But nothing should be stopping you from forking the repo and adding that yourself! To get started:

1. Fork and clone the repo to your machine
2. Run npm install
3. Modify source files to implement the feature
4. Build the distribution files using npm run build
5. Install the distribution to your Chrome as a custom extension using Development mode
6. Open any github PR and pop your modified extension by pressing z to see if it works! (you might want to disable the original extension though, otherwise, it might conflict with your custom one)

Hey @irek02, thanks for the reply! Do you think I could fork your project and develop on top of it? If I decide to publish it, can I do it or do you want it to be associated with your own Chrome application?

hey @miguel-botelho , you can totally fork it and add the feature on top of it. If you want to publish it as your own extension I think it will be fine with me. It would be nice if you let me know before you do so though. Maybe I would be able to incorporate your feature into my extension and have it available under a setting so that it only appears if you turn it on.

Thanks for the answer. Whenever I have time, I'll start developing it and let you know when it's finished.
