The new version is way worse than the previous one, it doesn't update and i loose a bunch of studies

Ruta Klimasauskaite2021年3月11日

Oh my god! This extension done the job only twice for me! It says studies available, clicking on it at the second it says 0 places are available. Please sort it out !

Omo2021年3月11日

Removing the refresh interval and not being able to refresh the last checked was the biggest mistake. This doesn't work anymore

F2021年3月11日

It's no longer possible to click on the "Last checked" button... This is a major downgrade, compared to the previous version. Still, I would like to thank you for developing this tool.

Juan Carlos Hoyos2021年3月11日

I've been using the assistant and has been working great until the latest update, before i could clic on the last checked date to update or refresh now is not possible and is not updating the last checked date so no new notifications since 3.7.

Gergő Tasi2021年3月10日

Great!

Micaela Arcaio2021年3月10日

It's useful but it doesn't allow me to refresh the last update anymore! Why? I'm missing studies!

AI product read

Monitors Prolific.com for new research studies and sends desktop notifications to participants when studies become available

Prolific participants miss time-sensitive study opportunities because they cannot constantly watch the Prolific website; the extension automates monitoring and alerts them immediately

Extension authenticates user via Prolific OAuth → periodically polls Prolific API for new studies → when studies are found, plays an alert sound and shows desktop notification → displays study count on the extension badge → user clicks notification or extension to go to Prolific and participate

Target users: Prolific research study participants looking to maximize their earnings by catching new studies quickly

background.js and chunks/popup-DcTuvAWh.js are heavily minified (single-line, ~79KB and ~288KB respectively), making it difficult to trace exact control flow and feature logic
Cannot fully confirm whether the OAuth flow is mandatory for basic functionality or if some features work without login due to minification
Cannot inspect the popup UI to see if there are upgrade/premium prompts hidden in the minified JS

Monetization

No paid features detected

No evidence of paid features within the extension. The 'upgrade' keyword hit is from generic React minified code, not a payment prompt. 'pro' hits are from the word 'prolific' or variable names, not a 'Pro plan'. 'license' is from Tailwind CSS MIT license comment. No subscription, payment, Stripe, billing, or premium feature gating found anywhere in the source code. The extension itself is free; Prolific as a platform has separate business models for researchers but those are unrelated to this extension's functionality.

Confidence: 90
Payment platform: --
Source: AI / Medium
Login required: Yes
Reason: The extension includes a full OIDC/OAuth client library in background.js, communicates with auth.prolific.com for authentication, uses access_token/refresh_token flows, and has the 'identity' permission. To monitor Prolific for new studies, the extension must authenticate the user against the Prolific platform to access user-specific study data via internal-api.prolific.com and api.prolific.com. Without a Prolific account session, the core workflow (fetching available studies for the logged-in participant) cannot function.
