Feature Request: Button or indicator in the matrix to notify of lists that needs to be updated.

And possibly update all lists when clicked.

What about using chrome notifications? What if the user doesn't use the matrix very often or have HTTPSB configured with rules for most the sites they visit so they don't really have to use the matrix all the time.

Here are examples of a "list" and "basic" type of notification.

Clicking "Update" woud update all the assets. Clicking "Learn more" would open up the "About" tab in the dashboard.

Users who don't want to recieve notifications can uncheck it in the notifications settings.

chrome.notifications:

This API is currently available on ChromeOS, Windows, and Mac

I develop on Linux, so I consider support on Linux to be a requirement.

Oh sorry. I didn't know Linux didn't support chrome.notifications.

My choice so far is to slap on a little badge on the dahsboard icon (a symbol suggesting that something requires user attention), and if the user click the icon, the About tab will be automatically selected in the dashboard.

Now, the consequence of this feature is that HTTPSB will have to perform recurrent net requests (twice a day?) to Github to check whether anything has changed. So far, that net request was triggered only by visiting the About tab.

Currently, this request to Github is the only request which bypass net filtering. So I think I will remove the bypass, and if ever a geeky user do not want these recurrent requests to occur, then it will be possible to block them using the chromium-behind-the-scene matrix.

you should stop using the 'geek' and 'nerd' words

I don't think I ever used the word "nerd". As for "geeky", I had in mind someone who likes tech gadgets. I really had no idea it was an insult.

Ok I went through all the wiki and source code and changed:

• "geeky user" -> "advanced user"
• "less geeky users" -> "novice users"
• "geeky stats" -> "detailed stats"

If you spot more, I will appreciate you warn me so I can correct.

Didn't find any other "geeks" in the wiki but I think there's a mistake on the wiki page, In the top left of the matrix, what is "other"? . The "other" column is on the top right of the matrix.

That's right, fixed. Thanks.
