Preordered 50 of something across a chaotic week? Connect Gmail (read-only), type the product,
and get an instant count of every order confirmation — units, spend, and a per-retailer breakdown.
Nothing leaves your browser.
Setup needed: this tool needs a Google Client ID before it can connect to Gmail.
Site admin: create one in Google Cloud Console (Gmail API + OAuth consent + Web client with this
site as an authorised origin) and paste it into GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID at the top of
orders.html.

Privacy: this runs entirely in your browser. It requests read-only Gmail access,
searches only for order-confirmation emails matching your query, and parses them locally. No email
content is uploaded, stored, or seen by Ascend — close the tab and the access token dies with it.

*Qty and totals are parsed from email text where possible — retailers format emails differently, so
treat blank cells as "couldn't parse", not zero. The email count is always exact.
