Reddit post notifier

Chrome Web Store

Mozilla Add-on

A browser extension that watches and notifies about:

new posts in subreddits and Reddit searches,
unread private messages in multiple accounts,
the latest users' comments and posts.

Also check out my other web extension to search in your Reddit saved posts: Reddix.

Then, to build and watch changes to the code and style files, and run the corresponding browser using web-ext

npm run dev:ff
npm run dev:chrome

npm run build:chrome

To archive the contents of the "extension" folder as a package in the /web-ext-artifacts folder
