What I Built

For Trailer Central's Marketing product I wrote a new Craigslist Autoposter using a Google Chrome Extension. This extension allows users with TrailerCentral Marketing to choose an inventory item from their dashboard and the extension will go out to craigslist, log into an account, start a new listing, and fill out all the details from their inventory item to sell it on Craigslist. The script is designed to minimize manual data entry work while replicating a real user's input. Many updates have gradually been made over the years to fix issues, improve performance, and add additional functionality such as renews, syncing data, and eventually the shift to almost entirely paid posting only.
