Hey guys, some of you might be interested in this side project that I've been working on during my spare time in the last couple weeks.
I've talked to photon and he didn't have any problems with me sharing this with the rest of the community so here it is.
As the title suggests, this Chrome extension gives you access to notifications for things that happen on CP (similar to Facebook notifications). For example, you'll get a notification as soon as a "Trade" thread is posted.
Screenshots
Current Features
- Notification when the following threads are posted: GDT, GT, PGT, OOT, News, Trade, Signing.
- Notification when people post in your thread.
- Notification when people reply (quoted) to your post.
- The top bar of the extension is a link to CP so you're always only 2 clicks away.
- The notifications are clickable and they will link you to the appropriate thread (for threads like GDT) or post (when someone quoted you).
- The notifications are (almost) real-time (1 to 20 seconds).
Roadmap (Features I haven't gotten around to implementing just yet)
- Subscribe to Threads. You can subscribe to any threads you want and you will get a notification when someone posts in the thread.

- Thanks notifications. You'll get a notification when someone thanks your post.
- Filters on notification. You'll be able to turn off specific types of notifications.
- Notifications on all forums. Currently only Fire on Ice and its subforums and the Off Topic and its subforums are supported.
- Support for Firefox (maybe, depending on the demand).
- A lot more features, and I'm open to feature requests from you guys (as long as its doable).
Fine Prints
- This is an Alpha release. I haven't had the time to test the extension very thoroughly (since I don't post a lot) hence you might encounter some bugs. Let me know if you see anything wrong.
- I haven't had the time to make it look nice, I'll get around to polishing up the design and the UI soon.
Bugs and Known Issues
- Login screen doesn't react to wrong username/password.
- After logging in, notifications don't load immediately (need to click on the extension button again).
Downloading

Getting the Login Credentials
Currently, I haven't had the time to implement a sign up page so
if you want to try out the extension, post in this thread and I will manually add you to the database and PM your credentials to access it. It'll be faster than PMing me since I'll get a notification when you post here.
