Looks awesome! Any plans for a chrome extension?

It relies on Mozilla's notifications API, which Chrome does not support (AFAIK).

I don't have any Chrome plans (I work for Mozilla), but I've heard rumors that the Chrome team is working on their own push notifications.

Eventually I want to get these APIs standardized and in other browsers, not just Firefox and Boot to Gecko.

Will this land (eventually) in XULRunner as well ?
jbalogh
Yes, it'll be part of the Gecko platform.

Your "fork me on github" image is broken. I bet you'd get a lot more watchers if you fix it ;)

It looks good to me. What are you seeing? What browser?
RegEx
I see the broken-image image in Chrome, OS X Snow leopard.

Fine in FF on Lion for me.

Fine for me in Chrome 18 on OS X Lion.

Really neat. Is there a technical reason why it only allows you to receive notifications from repos that you own?
jbalogh
It's a limitation of the Github API. The app sends notifications after receiving a web hook from Github, and you can only add web hooks for repos you own.
