I just made this devrant chrome extension that notifies you when a new rant is posted. Just because having the site open isn't distracting enough.

@dfox will I get in trouble for using your logo for this?

    @saltuwaiya

    I asked @dfox (one of the founders) for permission to use the devRant logo in my devRant extension.

    Also, isn't that your rant in my screenshot? haha

    @ChappIO That's why I wondered who will be trouble.

    Clear no.

    Better to ask for forgiveness than permission?

    @noda Yeeaaa, well if he does not approve then I guess I will end up taking it down. It was a good exercise to learn to create an extension.

    Let us know when it's live on the chrome webstore!

    @ishankothari I will! If you'd like to check it out before that, I added (simple) instructions on how to install it. It's a matter of drag and drop.

    New Rant is posted every minute(if not 4/5 times in one minute). The popups will drive ppl mad!!

    Awesome! I'll add this to the webpage I'm building.

    As far as using the logo/name - that's ok, but any plugin using the word devRant should also note, preferably in the title, that it's "unofficial" to avoid confusion.

    @dfox Ah alright. I will do that as soon as it comes through review. Then I can edit the information :)

    @Raspik There is an option to only check using algo instead of recent. This way you will only get notifications if new rants reach the top.

    And only if chrome is open of course

    @ChappIO in that case we probably should cooperate on our apps.. mine is already in store and could use the feature. right @Haxk20 ?
