I spend a lot of time refreshing the My Tags tab on the Unanswered page. Well, those days are over, I can now freely roam the Internet or even use other applications, whenever a new question is posted to my favorite Stack Exchange site which has my chosen tags I get a Desktop Notification like the one seen in the screenshot above. If I'm interested in the question I click on the notification and a new tab will be opened with that question. You can choose if you want to see questions with any of your tags or all of them. You can also specify a list of Ignored Tags. Any question that has one of those will be ignored. You can also connect your StackExchange account and get notifications for new inbox messages. All settings are made on the options page which you can get to by right clicking on the New Q! button circled below: ![Browser Action Button][1] ##Update to Version 2.0 This is a big change. So, please bear with me through any problems there may be. This update now uses version 2.0 of the API. It allows you to search multiple sites at once. You can also get inbox notifications if you connect the app. The UI has been polished up a bit too. I'll try to update all the screenshots soon. Existing users will have to re-input their settings, I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Enjoy and as always feedback is appreciated. ###UPDATE To Version 0.7 Fixed several bugs. Added comment notification now if you enter you user ID on the options page you'll get notifications when people @reply to you in comments: <img src="https://i.sstatic.net/j9ZvO.jpg" alt="" title="Comment Notification" /> ###UPDATE To Version 0.8 Fixed the bug where you received too many notifications when starting your browser. Your browser history is used to check what questions you've already viewed, so existing users must re-enable the extension for additional permissions. Tags that you use most often are suggested on the options page. Tags are shown in the notifications. Please tell me about any problems you find with this update. Thanks! ###UPDATE To Version 0.9 This update as well as 0.8.1 and 0.8.5 were mostly bug fixes. A few new things: The logo of the website is displayed as the background in the notification. Some CSS improvments to the notifications. You can load in your favorite tags by clicking on the suggestion. The notification goes away when you click on the link in it as requested on the Chrome extension page. ###UPDATE To Version 1.0 There is now a badge showing your reputation on the New Q! button. Clicking on the button now gives you a pop-up listing the questions and allowing you to pause/restart the notifications. This is useful if you need some distraction free time. ##How it works This is done with a Google Chrome extension which checks every minute or so for new questions with the desired tags using jQuery and the StackExchange API. If a new question is found a Desktop Notification is sent up using WebKit's implementation of the HTML5 Desktop Notification system. The tags and site you are interested in are set using the options page which can be accessed by right clicking the new "New! Q" button. These settings are stored in HTML5 local storage. ###License [Creative Commons Attribution 3.0][3] ###Download Chrome Gallary: [https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/bffhpbgmmflmoacglmdnilfjkeeokkfn][4] Source Code: [https://github.com/adamzr/New-Q-][5] ###Platform Google Chrome (tested with 5.0.375.70, but probably works with slightly earlier versions) Windows/Mac/Linux ##Contact On GitHub at https://github.com/adamzr/New-Q- ##Code Written in javascript,jQuery, and HTML in a google chrome extension.
