Scratch

I have been working on this for a long time.

Here is the plan:
A Google Chrome extension which pops up a bubble when you get a notification.

I know some people have mentioned to me that they would be interested in doing this in a collab, and the collab is officially open. You must have some knowledge of HTML, JavaScript, and or PHP.
So far it consists of just me. I am using the Scratch API.

This looks cool! You're going to run into a few problems, though:
1. There's no notifications API from Scratch
2. Javascript won't allow you to manipulate data from remote sites for security reasons

It looks like the best workaround is to write a tiny flash file that can make the requests to the Scratch site and send it back to JS...I can make it for you, if you'd like...I can't wait to see how this turns out!

EDIT: Trying to access /notifications from Flash is causing some sort of error...I wonder if the Scratch platform is designed to prevent this sort of request... yikes

Actually, I don't need a notifications API. I am hopefully just going to have my program look for comments on the signed-in user's projects and galleries that were shared within a minute. The API can tell you when comments were posted.

EDIT: That was my 1100th post!

why not just use the front page and sense the "you have X comments" page?

ProgrammingFreak · 2011-03-10 13:14:15

I know HTML, PHP, and some JavaScript,

no that is not. That shows you comments you have left on other people's projects. We are looking for comments people have left on your projects and galleries.

You could always make a proxy for the javascript in PHP on the same domain smile

Nice! First step, I need the scratch API embedded into an HTML file. I haven't done that yet, someone else can do it if they want.

I just came back to this thread and noticed...
No they don't!

Notifications show you the comments people have posted on your projects and galleries.

yes, notifications tell you what we want to know, but there is no notifications api so

not really, we just need to make it look for comments made within the last minute on the logged-in user's proejcts and galleries

It just so happens that Google is having a series of workshops at the Cambridge office for people who want to make Chrome extensions: https://sites.google.com/site/camclassroom/
