This is a Google Chrome browser extension that enhances the Google+ web app to unlock the potential of its real-time updates and make it much easier to process a large stream of incoming posts and comments.
-
Notification status visible at all times. Browser icon shows badge with number of new notifications.
-
Collapsible items. As an alternative to muting, this is great if you're not really interested in seeing a post and all its comments right now, but you still want to get back to it at a later time and/or still want to get notifications.
-
Real-time comment count on collapsed items. You will see either how many comments a post has or how many new ones you haven't seen yet.
-
List mode keeps at most one post displayed. This turns the stream into a dashboard: in one screenful you can see activity on many posts at once and jump back and forth between multiple active comment streams.
- Sometimes the comment counts look odd. You can get zero or negative counts for new comments because people delete their comments -- that's normal. But there are also some bugs in the count that both Google and I need to fix over time.
- Does not play well with the 'j' and 'k' keyboard shortcuts, which scroll the page.
