## Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

### \[0.2] - 2026-09-08

#### Added

- ✨ Added a star-rating filter, so you can pull only 5-star praise, only 1-star complaints, or
  any combination you choose, instead of downloading every review and sorting it yourself.
- 🔍 Added keyword search within reviews, so you can find every review mentioning something
  specific, like "battery life" or "durability", and spot recurring complaints or praise in
  seconds. Combine it with the star-rating filter to zero in on, say, every 1-star review that
  mentions a specific problem.
- 📷 Added a "only reviews with photos" toggle, for pulling the customer photos that show a
  product actually installed or in use.
- 👍 Added a minimum helpful-votes filter, so you can keep only the reviews other shoppers found
  most useful and skip the noise.

### \[0.1] - 2026-09-08

#### Added

- ✨ Initial release: extract Home Depot product reviews, including star rating, review title
  and text, reviewer name, verified-purchase status, post date, helpful-vote counts, photos, and
  attribute sub-ratings (quality, value, energy efficiency, features, appearance, ease of
  installation, ease of use) wherever a review provides them.
- ➕ Added sort and filter controls matching Home Depot's own review browser: newest, most
  helpful, highest rating, or lowest rating, plus a verified-purchases-only toggle.
- ➕ Added monitor mode: track a product across scheduled runs and receive only the reviews
  posted since the last run, so you can watch a listing for new feedback without re-downloading
  everything each time.
- ➕ Added a total-review-count field on every row, matching the count shown on the live product
  page.

#### Changed

- ⚡ Built on this repo's proven anti-blocking browser profile, so runs load real Home Depot
  pages reliably without needing a residential proxy.

#### Fixed

- 🛠️ Corrected verified-purchase detection so it accurately reflects which reviews Home Depot
  itself marks as coming from a verified purchase, caught by comparing output against the
  verified-purchases-only filter before shipping.
