Gaugr v1.2.22 — SuperC Is Now Gaugr
SuperCxxxx is dead. Long live Gaugr.
Same product, same code, same team, same features — new name, new domain, new identity. Starting today, the extension is called Gaugr and lives at gaugr.app. The rebrand is the headline, but v1.2.21 shipped right before with a proper rename flow, soft auto-updates, and a fix that's been annoying people for a while. Here's everything in the box.
V1.2.22 — The Rebrand
Gaugr Everywhere — The extension name, logo, Chrome Web Store listing, Firefox Add-ons listing, and all 34 locale files now say Gaugr. The popup, the setup wizard, the settings page — everything carries the new name. If you're reading this, you're already on it.
Fair Use & Trademark Notice — A new /fair-use page on gaugr.app explains the relationship clearly: Gaugr is an independent third-party productivity tool. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Anthropic, PBC. Claude™, Claude.ai™, and Anthropic® are trademarks of Anthropic, PBC, used for nominative reference only. This disclaimer also appears in Settings → About and in the footer of every page on gaugr.app. Legal, Terms, and Privacy pages now include a no-Anthropic-data-sharing clause and an independence card.
Migration Shims — Existing storage keys (supercl**_auth, sync keys, license-encryption salt, device fingerprint seed) are preserved during the upgrade. Your session, customizations, account list, and Pro plan carry over automatically. No re-login, no reconfiguration, no data loss.
Backward-Compatible Exports — Account and theme export keys now use the gaugr- prefix, but the importer still accepts previously-exported superc*- keys. Nothing you saved before the rebrand gets orphaned.
CORS Transition — The API origin list on api.gaugr.app accepts both gaugr.app and supercl*.app during the transition period. Already-installed v1.2.21 clients keep working while users update to the new version.
V1.2.21 — Rename Fix, Auto-Updates & PromptModal (Apr 19)
Rename Account Actually Persists — Renaming an account was broken. The native window.prompt() was detaching the MV3 popup, and the new name got lost on the way back to the store. Gone. Replaced with a real in-popup modal that keeps focus inside the extension window.
PromptModal Component — A themed glass-card modal with auto-focus, auto-select of the default value, Enter to save, Escape to cancel, and a 60-character limit by default. Exposed via provide('showPrompt') so any view can call await showPrompt({ title, defaultValue, … }) instead of the blocking browser prompt. The rename flow prefills with the account's current custom name (or the part before @), with the full email shown as placeholder.
Soft Auto-Update Check — The background polls /api/extension/version every 6 hours (plus an immediate first check 5 seconds after boot). If the extension is behind, the popup shows a green "New version available — Update" banner that opens the Chrome Web Store (or AMO on Firefox) on click. Dismissal is keyed to the specific version, so the banner reappears automatically on the next release.
Backend Version Endpoint — /api/extension/version reads web/data/extension-version.json and supports ?v=1.2.X to return { behind, ahead, upToDate } without extra client-side comparison. 10-minute / 1-hour CORS cache headers keep polling cheap.
Translations — Rename modal keys (renameTitle, renameHint, save) and update banner keys (bannerTitle, bannerSubtitle, youreOn, updateNow, remindLater) added to all 34 locales.
