some stuff for local residents

hi guys, im newbie in this community, and im glad to be here. i see a lot of people helping others, and I also try to help as much as possible. i have been doing web development for a long time but recently with laravel. and I often read topics that I do not answer, but I am interested in other people's answers

after a week, I realized that I was spending a lot of time tracking responses in my discussions. i constantly visit the site and update it. subscribing to updates by email is not my way, it is not convenient for me.

after digging around in the laracasts code, I wrote a small Chrome extension that adds the ability to subscribe to threads using push notifications rather than email.

at the moment I have posted my extension and it is being verified by google. of course I will write more when this is posted. but if suddenly someone is ready to try the extension now, I would be grateful.

need google chrome, developer mode and desire) clone code, install unpacked extension and use it. its ONLY local extension, no one byte of data sended in external servers. extension use system notification center, i checked his work in macos and ubuntu.

https://blog.chosunghyun.com/porting-a-chrome-extension-to-firefox-add-on/ as I said, 90% of the code can be maintained without changes

edit: u can see this report for my extension: https://www.extensiontest.com/test/dfd40290-7812-11eb-bd32-6717103253a2 as i see, it is some problem with js syntax (propably my love to es6) and need some specific changes to manifest.json, and it is all. i will do this changes and try to post firefox addon in couple of days
