The view system can present its results as an RSS feed. Why not just feed that into an RSS reader, rather than screen-scraping the HTML view results? |

I very much like the idea and it wouldn't be that tricky to put together in firefox, I'd see it looking a bit like geourl (see link) with a glowing croissant in the status bar when there's something new on the bakery for you to look at. |
|
|
If you could make 1 RSS feed encompassing all of your queries then the extension could 'ping' the rss feed every X minutes to see whether the top item had changed. Once you've visited the bakery, the timer can start back at zero again. |

Definitely have to think about the load on the poor HB server. |
|
|
HalfFox is the cooler name. Guess why...... |
|
|
guess the server load can be checked
with [Jutta]. Sounds like there would be
general interest in such an extention
though. |
|
|
And then new ideas and annotations can be sent to my mobile phone**.+ |

I'm not against this, but speaking personally anything that means I spend more time checking the halfbakery is probably not a great idea. |
|
|
No, this means you spend less time checking the 'bakery-- notifications mean never checking when nothing's new. |
