BGA - Chrome Extension

[compte obelète]

Yes, SteveV is right, Edge is chromium based so it is possible to use Chrome extension on Edge. The only thing to do is to accept to install extensions from other stores (see picture).

Ok

[billybobb]

but, we forget the edge users, safari users and so on?

I plan to port the extension at least to Firefox.
If I have many requests from the community for Safari, I may have a look if that's doable.

waiting for it

Great extension. Very usefull.
Much more useful than mails and Chrome notifications.

If you have the time to improve this extension, here are my 2 requests.

Would it be possible to make the 0 less visible?
I prefer to only see the blue square when I have to play. See the 0 seems counterproductive for me.

I'm not a fan of alphabetical order. On BGA it's listed by creation date.
It would be an huge improvment if we can choose how to view the listing.
With asynchronous play, I play several times the same game. Alphabetical ordre is very confused because I cannot tell which games I've just played.

Great suggestion Alexcendre! And thank you for the feedbacks, very much appreciated

I pushed a similar todo in my list about 2 days ago, what a coincidence
I though I could probably remove the badge when it's down to 0 and make some icon animation when a the number raise up so it's more appealing when there is activity.

Ordering the games by creation date would totally make sense by default, I will do that in the next update as it's easy to do.
Adding ways to order them differently would be great too but may need some work to get there... I will think about it

Is it possible for the names of the games on the list to be translated into the user's language?
Many games are known by names other than the original and the original name may not be known.

Hi januszk0.

It should be the case. Do you have a particular example? Some games doesn't have translation yet and in that case I fallback on the game name key. But that could also be a bug

[januszk0]

Example. In red, I wrote the name of the game in Polish:

Thank you for your report Januszk0.

You were right, the game names only displays in english, I will add a task to use the translated version in user lang instead

Hi anotherFlav, I see in our server logs some 503 errors raised due to flooding from this extension (probably for players with a lot of games). Could you introduce some delays for rate limiting to avoid too many requests being fired in a quick sequence?

[anotherFlav]

Hi Een,

Sorry to hear that. But I think you are right, players with a lot of tables could produce a lot of queries in sequence when displaying the extension popup. I will push a fix to add delays ASAP.
A nice mid-term solution would be to add a pagination system. I will add this to my Todo List as well

On a more positive note a new release has been published with one of the suggestion made by Alexcender.
