GoNintendo Google Chrome Extension is Live

GN Version 4.0

Do you like Google Chrome? Do you like Chrome Extensions? Do you like GoNintendo?

A little side project I've been working long before 4.0 launched was a Google Chrome Extension for GoNintendo. Due to the lack of needed functionality of the old site, I had to wait for 4.0 to go live before I could finish it. I believe I'm at a point where I can finally release it for public consumption.


Features Include...
- Notification popup when a new top story is posted
- Notification popup when the live feed player is active on the site
- Ability to swap the post content and poster information columns on thread pages in the forum (for those haters out there)
- Chrome Omnibar integration...
- - Typing "gn top/rumors/console/portable" takes you to the stories page for that category
- - "gn forum" and "gn boards" takes you to the message boards
- - "gn games" takes you to the game database page
- - "gn chat" takes you to the chat room page
- - "gn [anything else]" does a story search

To View/Edit Options:
- Right click on the extension icon at the top right of the browser and click "Options"


The extension pings the site every 20 minutes or so (as long as you have the browser running, of course) for new information.

UPDATE: An update will be rolled out soon (those who already have downloaded the extension will get the update automatically) where you can adjust the time when the extension pings the site.


I've set up a thread here for on going discussion and support.




Enjoy!
