CCF DDL Tracker

An open source Chrome extension for tracking CCF deadlines

Get Started GitHub
Version 2.3

Conference metadata built into the popup workflow

v2.3 surfaces CCF categories and rankings while browsing imports, lets you choose which metadata appears on saved cards and calendar exports, and remembers unfinished manual entries.

Version 2.1

Time zone switching that fits real submission workflows

v2.1 added a popup time zone selector, kept imported source time semantics intact, and made manual deadlines save against the zone you selected.

Version 2.0

A denser popup redesign for faster deadline triage

v2.0 reworked the popup into a tighter layout, kept the import panel visible, added homepage links, and introduced display settings for time and date formats.

CCF DDL Tracker provides a compact popup for keeping deadlines visible in Chrome. You can add custom deadlines, import recommended conferences from CCFDDL, switch the display time zone, and keep everything stored locally in your browser.

Features

  • Focused tracking
    • Keep deadlines in a dense popup instead of a separate dashboard.
    • See remaining days quickly with compact cards and sorted lists.
  • CCFDDL import flow
    • Import recommended conferences from the CCFDDL dataset and ICS fallback.
    • Keep homepage links and source time zone data so each card can jump to the official conference site.
  • User-friendly settings
    • Switch between Chinese and English, and choose a display time zone from the popup.
    • Choose time format and date order without leaving the popup.
  • Calendar handoff
    • Right-click any saved or imported card to open the calendar menu.
    • Send deadlines to Google Calendar or export ICS for Apple / iCloud and other calendar apps.

Note

This extension does not require an account and does not upload your saved deadlines. Your data stays in chrome.storage.local on the current browser.

Warning

Imported deadlines are a convenience layer, not a replacement for official conference announcements. Submission schedules can change, so always verify important deadlines on the conference website before submitting.

Installation

CCF DDL Tracker is built as a Manifest V3 Chrome extension. You can install it from the Chrome Web Store or load it unpacked from source during development.
