Hi Himanshu @himanshub16,

Thank you for GMail Notifier.

You may benefit from my GMail extension. Imagine: When sending an email, you could indicate its urgency. Any conversations that you mark as not urgent skip Inbox. (Like GMail Mute with more control. Also like filters, but selected per-thread and more convenient.) Instead of following the feed, you can focus on conversations of your choice.

This add-on also improves search, labels and stars. It brings more relevant matches.

Would you like to impact this new project in long-term? You have a chance to choose its name. Could you add your suggestion to https://github.com/peter-kehl/PowerMute/wiki/Suggest-Project-Name, please? Or by email - as you prefer.

Thanks for creating useful tools for the community. AppScripts are great with regards to their functionalities.

For your project, you I would recommend choosing some other name than 'PowerMute' because your scripts do more than muting people.

Moreover, people would like to have a product as chrome extension/web-app/IFTTT service etc. rather than a collection of scripts. You can work on some end user product that utilizes these scripts. I had to figure out after some research about app scripts and whether they can be deployed. Other people might give up after spending few minutes. The reason is: app scripts are not much popular.

You can provide some video demonstration or manuals for using these scripts along with screenshots of what it does. This would make your work more appealing to the one viewing it.

Keep building more cool stuff.
