A Chrome extension that lets you know when your friends start writing to you on Facebook

Facebook Sixth Sense

Update June 9, 2016: In compliance with a Cease and Desist letter from Facebook, I have removed the extension from Github and the Google Web Store.

Encoding issue on typing hover

Some people are encountering an encoding issue. The – symbol in the typing hover message is replaced with â€".

Record history when people type but then don't send messages.

The notification can be hard to see when not concentrating on it and a lot of the value in seeing the typing notification disappears if they actually do send a message. I think the true value from this product at least for me would be seeing those that type but don't send, when you're not expecting them to be typing.

Someone you don't regularly chat with typing and never messaging could be a good indicator that they're open to reconnecting.

Thanks for the tool!

Show a message when there's nothing to display

The white screen that appears when there's nothing to display can be confusing to users.

We should display a message such as "There's nothing to display".

Build fails at babel-node ./node_modules/.bin/webpack

Node and npm are up to date and I did some troubleshooting by removing and reinstalling both but this problem persisted. Any ideas?

Handle messenger.com too

Way cool – your blog post was a fun read!

May I ask for manifest coverage of the stand-alone Facebook Messenger site, too?

If you ever want to work at the internal codebases at Facebook (or on Messenger, for that matter) directly, you would probably not find it hard to get your foot in. :-)

error when add to browser

Hi,

output file doesn't contain "lib" folder, thus I get error when add output extension to browser.

The NPM install shows only only one warning, no error -

npm WARN package.json [email protected] No repository field.
npm WARN optional dep failed, continuing [email protected]
npm WARN optional dep failed, continuing [email protected]
npm WARN cannot run in wd [email protected] babel-node ./node_modules/.bin/webpack (wd=/root/facebook-sixth-sense)

and this is the browser error-
Failed to load extension from: ~\Downloads\extension
Could not load background script 'lib/background.js'.
