When user clicks on "Watch button", we want to add the url to watchlist but before that we want to ensure if the url is valid or not. This issue checks if url is valid or not and we can just alert the valid status for now on button click.

Plugin works great on stackoverflow.com, but the icon does not appear on serverfault.com

Whenever a question is watched/unwatched we change the color of Eye accordingly. We should also show additional message like this:

Watch: "Question has been added to your watchlist"
Unwatch: "You are no longer watching this question"

Give users a delete/check icon along with notifications in popup so that they need not open an un-necessary notification in new tab and any notification can be deleted from the popup itself.

Since 571069e this extension has been requesting access to all web pages, instead of just Stack Overflow, Stack Exchange and so on. From a security point of view, this is far too broad for a Stack Exchange-specific extension.

As far as I can tell, the previous URL patterns (see the commit above) covered all the Stack Exchange sites which currently exist. Please go back to the more restrictive permission set!

Thanks!

PS not sure if this might help with handling new Stack Exchange sites (or Stack Overflow Enterprise sites): https://developer.chrome.com/apps/permissions#request

When users press Ctrl+T or open a new tab, display the index.html page in it and let the users see activity on the sites they are following.

Also use the slow fadein effect when showing the notification.

Here is the source code which could be used to convert text to file and trigger download

function getOrCreateDownloadLink() {
    var $link = $('#downloadLink');

    if ($link.length === 0) {
      $link = $('<a id="downloadLink">download</a>').appendTo('body');
    }

    $link.hide();
    return $link;
  }

  function saveAsTextFile(text, fileName) {
    var textFileAsBlob = new Blob([text], { type:'text/plain' }),
      $downloadLink = getOrCreateDownloadLink();

    $downloadLink.attr('download', fileName || 'file');

    if (typeof window.URL !== 'undefined') {
      $downloadLink.attr('href', window.URL.createObjectURL(textFileAsBlob));
    }

    $downloadLink.get(0).click();
  }

  function getOrCreateUploadLink() {
    var $link = $('#uploadLink');

    if ($link.length === 0) {
      $link = $('<input type="file" id="uploadLink" />').appendTo('body');
    }

    $link.hide();
    return $link;
  }

  function loadTextFile(callback) {
    var $link = getOrCreateUploadLink(),
      reader = new FileReader();

    reader.onload = function(evt) {
      callback(evt.target.result);
    };

    $link.change(function() {
      reader.readAsText($link.get(0).files[0], 'UTF-8');
      $link.val('');
    });

    $link.click();
  }

Hi Sachin.

I just discovered StackEye and it looks promising. I'm testing it out and I see that it is designed to "follow" users as in aggregating all their posts into one place.

What I'm wondering is how hard would it be to be able to create a button to see a list of all the users I'm following in the dropdown/popup from the Chrome extensions toolbar? I found the list but it is not viewable from clicking on the Chrome extensions bar link:

One needs to click "View All" to be able to see the list. Here is what my "View All" looks like:

A second related issue is that you can see I'm following 4 users, but it shows zero in the popup.

Thanks

Check these URLs Request1 and Request2

Difference between 1 and 2 is the fromdate value. In case of 1, we have a comment with creation_date 1384705710 which is greater than fromdate value in URL1 still we don't have this entry in reponse of request of URL1.

StackApps Question Link

Install JSONView chrome extenstion to view json response neatly in your browser.

Allow user to add question to their favorite list and give option for searching on this list.
There will be another tab on index.html known as Favorites.It will be helpful later on to find out some question.

UI should have advanced options like:

• Searching on list by title
• Sorting by Date
• Sorting by Title
• Searching by Tag

We don't want users to follow too many users otherwise they will start getting too many notifications and instead of checking up with answers. They will remove notifications without reading them. Ultimately, it will lead the users to lose the interest in following users So lets put a cap on number of users to be followed.

Instead of deleting a notification you could give an option of "mark as read".

When a user visits a stackoverflow question, he should instantly know that there is an activity by a user followed by him. Possible options:

• Make left border
• Change background color of the box

How to do:

• When page gets reloaded, apart from sending watch status background script should also send the list of users followed by the user and rest of the things will be done by content scripts. Content script will check the answers/questions/comments by userIds and highlight those boxes.

We have ensured that our content scripts always get executed only on stackexchange specific sites So we always get messages from those urls. So we need not have those checks and can be removed.

Currently! User is not notified by emails. As user is not always available on desktop, think about a mobile solution.

Possible options

• Firefox Android extension
• User sign in via google and able to subscribe a list of tags
• User can also opt to get notifications via email about answers, comments..

This will be useful to people who are are promoting their product on SO.

Mainly for these tasks:

1. Minify JS and CSS
2. Create Zip file to include required resources to be packed

There is no functionality on stackoverflow using which you can follow a particular user.
This is a great feature and must be introduced.

Right now, StackEye can be used to watch only questions. Why not make it watch users as well ;)

We make calls for question timeline (Roughly answers + comments). We get lot of un-necessary fields. Strip them out using custom filter. For more information checkout StackApps Question: Strip out fields and StackExchange: How to create custom filter. Try custom filter on Sample API call

The weird eye icon creeps me out is it not possible to having a cleaner icon that fits more with the Stack Overflow aesthetic?

This is not a criticism the extension is fantastic and I would be lost without it.

Currently, we are rendering all the notifications in popup while we only show recent 5 notifications. We should not render rest of the notifications. Currently the logic to hide the remaining notifications is written in CSS.

This task aims at improving the popup opening time and page rendering performance by just rendering 5 items in the popup.

Right now, user has to select individual items and then click on Delete button.

Logic:
Update ListItemSelector.js to include a method - getAll_Items which will return the list of all items. Now, apply bulk delete on the obtained list.

Since we support all stack exchange sites, show the corresponding favicon icon before each question. It will make UI look good.

This tool looks awesome, but I don't want to switch to (or support, really) Chrome.

I have no idea how high complexity porting this to a Firefox add-on would be, so I'm in no way saying you should do it, but there were no other issues related to this so I wanted to at least float the idea.

Let the notification store be present in localStorage due to size constraints and move the user and question store to sync storage.

With some recent change in Stackoverflow page structure, follow button (eye icon) for question as well as user is broken.

• http://serverfault.com/
• http://askubuntu.com/
• http://superuser.com/
• http://mathoverflow.net/

Right now, we have two arrays

1. SW.stores.questionFeedStore and
2. SW.stores.notificationStore

We read, update and save the entire store whenever any question gets changed, any notification is changed etc etc. Instead we should create these arrays by reading individual objects and just update the object in the array and sync the object only.

PS: Make sure to make this backward compatible.

Investigate StackExchange API and figure out what can be delivered to users as they intend to follow some site on StackExchange network. Also restrict them not to follow more than 5 sites.

This is a regression and got introduced with latest release in v19.2.12

User should be able to unfollow user from user profile page.

Based on the tags in which user mostly browses the questions, show the user "1 Question per day" in the extension popup

how do i follow now with the new stackexchange update?

Eye icon is not present on question page whenever question is opened in new tab.

Reason: Whenever a page is loaded, content script sends message to the background with URL of the page as parameter. Background decides whether it is a valid SO page or not and sends back a message to content script of "Active Tab". If it is valid question page, content script shows the eye icon with the status sent by background page.

Solution: Instead of sending message to current active tab, Send message to all the tabs which have that URL from which request came.

Currently, we do not show any confirmation dialog when user clicks on Delete or Delete All button. Show a simple confirmation dialog. [See this MDN for window.confirm]

Need to investigate is api exists for supporting this issue.

With the recent revision to the SO user profile page, the "FOLLOW" button to add a User no longer displays. The result is that there is no way to add new users.

It may be that the layout changed radically or that the new tabs (Profile | Activity | Edit...) overlay or are in the space previously used for the Follow button.

At first thanks for this nice extension.
My problem is When I try to synchronize extension it's not getting my previous saved data that I saved using my account form different device like laptop. But after login from different device it's getting this extension but not my saved data for this extension. Please help what can I do?

Items:

• Setup React App with multiple routes for each User Notifications, Question Notifications, Users, Questions with empty/default content
• Populate Data into each view
• Use ItemSelector to select items and use that as mixin. Move most of the common code there.
• Update count in each tab heading when items are removed.

Futuristic items:

• Implement Storage Service and publish that as npm package and use that
