| Aug 30, 2010 at 0:23 | comment | added | moberley | @GeorgeEdison Yes, I wasn't looking for anything fancier than that. However, I don't think it needs to flash, just changing the background colour might be better. | |
| Aug 27, 2010 at 19:21 | comment | added | Nathan Osman | @moberly: Well, I'll see what I can do. Would it work if your username kind-of flashed red until you clicked it when there was a new comment? | |
| Aug 13, 2010 at 9:43 | comment | added | moberley | I don't think so. That is another website and it just appears to show aggregate information for all my linked accounts. I was just looking for a persistent indicator to remind me to go back to the Stack Exchange website because I'm not always at my computer. Kind of like the new email indicator. | |

| Aug 6, 2010 at 13:47 | comment | added | moberley | Of course, if there's no way for your app to determine if there are new replies, then maybe you could just show changes for the last 24 hours? | |
| Aug 6, 2010 at 13:41 | comment | added | moberley | I don't know how you would do that. That is, I'm not sure a new replies notification would work without cooperation from the StackExchange feature that provides that information. Presumably that would be via the API, but as I said I don't know much about the API. All I know is that when I visit a StackExchange site there is a small icon next to my username that tells me if I have new replies (and how many). The thing is I have to individually visit each StackExchange site that I've joined to see it. I saw your app, and was hopeful it could also appear in my Gnome panel. | |
| Aug 6, 2010 at 2:20 | comment | added | Nathan Osman | @moberly: No, I mean how would the app know that you had visited the page with your web browser? Suppose you get a message. The app turns green. You go to the site to see what the comment is... how does the app know that you did that? | |
| Aug 5, 2010 at 19:43 | comment | added | moberley | I don't know much about the API, so maybe it isn't supported. StackExchange has some way of determining when to change the envelope icon when there are new replies so I thought maybe that was available to applications using the API. | |
| Aug 5, 2010 at 18:26 | comment | added | Nathan Osman | That's a great idea... but how would it know you visited the site? | |
