Description
check4change (aka C4C) is a simple Mozilla FireFox extension that allows you to periodically check a web-page for updates.
Have you ever found yourself pressing the reload button frantically while waiting for a web page to be updated?
Well reload no further! with C4C you'll just mark the relevant text, set a check interval (e.g every 1 minute), and you're done!
Usage
C4C usage is as easy as pie:- Select the text you want checked for change.
- Right-Click. On the Check4Change context menu, select the time interval.
The tab icon will indicate this page is being monitored by changing to C4C.
That's it!
Sit back, and wait for the notifications. You can choose from:
- Little dancing C4C letters in the tab icon.
Clicking the tab indicates you've seen it, and the icon changes back to the original. - Sound notification. Can you make out who it is?
- Pop-up notification. Similar to FireFox's internal "Downloads Complete" message pop-up.
- Task-bar button flash. This works on a MS-Windows minimized window. On other OSs this action is WM specific.
Usage Examples
Be clever in choosing the text to be monitored:- New mail notifier. Select number of new messages and C4C.
- New auction bid notifier. Select latest price and C4C.
- New blog/news post notifier. Select latest post title and C4C.
- And more... how are you using it?
Personal Note
This is my first released extension. Actually, it is my first publicly available project after many years of programming.
So naturally I am very excited about it, and would very much like to get your feedback.
Any suggestions, ideas, bugs, or general comments would be very appreciated (and replied to, if you so wish).
Also, if you find this extension useful and you're feeling generous, maybe you'll consider making a donation?
