Problem
When I open my Instagram saved posts, either directly or through the link in the Muse Chrome extension, I don’t get any feedback on what Muse is doing. There’s no sign that it’s syncing, how many new saves it picked up, or whether it finished. So I don’t know how long to keep the tab open, and I end up checking the Muse app by hand to see if anything came in.
Current behavior
Opening instagram.com/…/saved shows nothing from Muse, neither on the page nor in the extension
I can’t tell whether a sync started, is still running, finished or failed
Expected behavior
Some clear feedback for each sync state:
Syncing: a small, unobtrusive indicator on the Instagram page (e.g. a toast in a corner), plus a badge or spinner on the extension icon. Example: “Muse is syncing your saves… 8 new”
Done: “Synced 12 new saves” with a link to open in Muse. It should also say when nothing new was found: “Up to date, no new saves”
Failed / blocked: a clear message if the sync didn’t work (not logged in, rate limit, page structure changed), with a retry option
Extension popup: time of the last sync and how many items it imported
Why it matters
Instagram saves are one of my main ways to get references into Muse. Without feedback I keep it open longer than needed. A visible status would make me trust the import enough to stop checking it by hand.
