UPDATE: Extension no longer working. The page that it uses to get the data is gone. I'll have to rewrite the extension to use the API or scrape the new global inbox.

I made a notification extension for Chrome:

Install it from here

It summarises all your Stack Exchange recent activity pages showing:

  • Current Reputation
  • Reputation change
  • Moderator messages
  • Responses
  • Revisions (edits to your posts)
  • New badges earned

To add a site go to your Recent Activity page (click on the Envelope at the top of the pate) and a link to add it should appear in the popup.

Note: It was initially made for Stack Overflow, Super User, etc. so it tests for accounts on those sites by default, but if you don't have accounts on them it won't add them to the popup. If you have accounts on them you don't want to appear you can remove them on the options page.

Install it from here

bug report: I've got 14 accounts - it identified 13 and just stopped, standing still on "loading..." them. I disabled it, re-enabled, and it seems to working fine now. But it's still missing 1 account at serverfault – Cawas Feb 14 '11 at 18:03
nevermind my last "bug report" it's been fixed after following some steps on the extension description (basically repeating processes). so the actual bug seems to be on that inconsistency. right now, I'm notified by things I've already seem through the extension itself. – Cawas Feb 14 '11 at 18:15

This seems to have broken over the past few hours for all sites but area51, probably because the /users/recent/ page seems to have been removed... – Isaac Apr 5 '11 at 12:02

@Sam I agree with @Isaac - this hasn't worked for me for several days now. I posted on the extension page at the Chrome Web Store but then realised you had requested bug reports to be logged here. – Sir Crispalot Apr 6 '11 at 15:59

This was a great extension, I'd love to see it working again. – Caleb Apr 16 '11 at 18:11

I just want to make sure you know about /inbox/genuwine, which is already in JSON and everything, and gets data from all sites in one go. (Of course, it works best if the user is actually logged into the one you request it from ;-).

Of course, that doesn't seem to include mere rep changes, which would require you to obtain the user's association ID (which you would presumably save away once obtained) somehow and pass it to stackauth 1.0's associated method to get summary data for all of the sites the user uses, including their rep, which could be compared to a "baseline" value to get the difference...

Thanks, I don't have any free time to work on this right now but when I do I'll take a look at those. – Sam Hasler May 4 '11 at 14:14

@Sam: I don't suppose there's a public source code repository for the extension, so I could easily contribute back any changes I might attempt? – SamB May 4 '11 at 14:51

Bug report: Chrome on Mac OSX - it only displays the sites that are hard-coded into the extension's background-stack-overflow-notifier.js file. It does not display any other stackexchange site. There is no add button in the extension popup when I try opening it from my activity page on any of the non-supported sites. Neither does the Rediscover Sites button actually add any of the non-hardcoded sites...

ETA: I'm using the most recent version (2.4.9) of the extension and the most recent version of Chrome available for the Mac (10.0).
