Feature implemented and this script retired

This script is no longer needed since this feature is now built-in. This post will remain here for historical purposes.

About

Live Home Page is a simple UserScript that updates the home page of any Stack Exchange site with questions as they are asked. Any activity on a question will bump it to the top of the home page and some nice jQuery animations will proudly announce its arrival! This script is very easy to use: just install it and visit the home page of a Stack Exchange site.

Download

You can download the script here:

Platform

Live Home Page runs on any browser that supports UserScripts. That includes Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Opera. Internet Explorer users need to find a new browser (just kidding, but there is currently no method of running a UserScript in IE that I know of).

Contact

I can be reached at [email protected].

Code

Written in JavaScript using jQuery.

    It's awesome how you give your personal email for contact & support. Have you considered open sourcing the script on github and using the github issue tracker for that kind of service.

  • @Raynos: It is open-source, but at such a small size I don't know if it's worth opening up a GitHub account and registering it there (I usually use Launchpad for code hosting). Feel free to post an answer or comment if you have any questions, suggestions, or bug reports.

  • github was just an example, I was an off-hand recomendation that some kind of web based system like launchpad / github / google code might be more suitable then personal email.

  • Useful script, thanks! Two suggestions I would like: 1) some sort of visual indication (perhaps temporary) of questions that have just been loaded. When more than as screen-full of new questions loads, it can take a moment to find your place. 2) abbreviation to kviews. View counts over 1000 are slightly overflowing their column.

  • @JeremyBanks: Thanks! I'll see if those two issues can be fixed.
