that is actually a great idea but it would require a lot of development cost
we can start with a public git project to contribute our ideas there

I'll be doing it in my free time, it won't look professional or be 100% bug free anytime soon, but with time it'll fix it self.

I'm a software developer and I've been thinking of creating some chrome extensions that would be helpful for bitcointalk members.
Does anyone have ideas on what would be helpful?
Currently I have one idea, a small window that shows up when you hover trust of a user(put mouse cursor on it), it'll show a summary of the trusted feedback.
If I created such chrome extension, would you guys be interested in it? the source code will be available for public so you can rest assured security wise.

I'd love to somehow get a notification when someone quotes me or mentions me, but i am not too sure that that is possible without giving you my login details.

I guess you could make it that you'll just give up a UID that you want to follow/get updated on if it(the UID) gets quoted or mentioned somewhere, but then again, that's basically the search function but with a bit more user
convenience and functionality.

In theory it's possible, one approach would be scraping the forum but that would upset the admin due to too many requests being sent to server, which I don't want to do. Another approach would be to manually select threads where you want to be notified, and the extension would continuously monitor it from "Show new replies to your posts." page, the down side that it'll make the thread disappear if no one quoted or mentioned you, Login details won't be necessary since extension will be using the existing session (no password leaking risk) and the code would be open source so you can make sure it's not sending your session to another person.

Maybe forum search can be more useful, especially for Newbie member of forum.
But there always have risk, ad-ons and extensions can be used to hack account, because of that i probably never will be use any extension

Security concerns is exactly why I'd make it open source, anyone can read the code and see that no data is being collected without user acceptance (for now, no data at all, but maybe later extension would collect statistics if needed).
