Hello awesome Chess.com community!

I just want to announce my weekend project, hope many of you will find it usable.

It is a browser extension (works in both Firefox and Chrome) which notifies you when there is a daily game waiting for you.

Project home page is https://github.com/umpirsky/chess-notifier in case you want to give feedback or report issues. You can install it from Firefox Marketplace or Chrome Web Store.

 

Here is the screenshot:

Looks great! (Now I just need to play more games...)

Maybe post this to https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/working-code as well?

The desktop notification and number next to the icon work very well.

If you're looking for feature suggestions, here are a few:

-Sound when the desktop notification pops up

-Custom checking interval

-Option so that clicking on the extension icon goes to "https://www.chess.com/goto_ready_game" instead

It is very helpful, thank you.

I don't think umpirsky has added that as a feature yet. It's still open on the Github page.

@nismo777 Right, sound notification is not implemented yet, there are only:

  1. Desktop notification (can be disabled in extension preferences)
  2. A number on the icon.

Sound notification will be added in one of the future releases, it will probably be disabled by default, but there will be option to enable it in extension preferences.

It works on Opera too thanks to Install Chrome Extensions.

The site has the browser desktop notifications built in if you allow it.
