Is your request related to a problem? Please describe.

I want to get notified whenever someone posts in a forum, like maybe I can say if I want to get notified about new topics in Suggestions, or new topics in the ATs and ninja everyone answering the question

Describe the solution you'd like

Be able to specify what forums to watch

Describe alternatives you've considered

Being ninjad all the time Sometimes if I am doing something else I'd like a notification on when a new topic is made or a new post (should only be used for smaller forums like Connecting to the Physical World).

Additional context

Maybe make it so that you can also watch topics? https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/30136012/comments/#comments-170724177 Maybe people will finally get something to post on.

I think this could be possible by periodically pinging /discuss (which has the last post date for all the forums) and checking the last post dates. Although this would trigger on other actions that change the last post date (like post editing and closing), so maybe checking the post count instead would work.

This could be done as a website, instead of an addon.

i think each forum and all of discuss has an rss thing too

window.DOMParser could help if you use the RSS one
