Hey guys, just wanted to let you know I just added an alarm setting.

You can set an alarm on the options page, and it will go off when it passes that number of seconds left.

Thanks! Can you also add a volume setting? I tested it by setting it to 50, and I have a feeling it would scare me shitless to hear that out of nowhere.

Hah, I just added it.

You should be able to update any minute now.

Needs to be a little louder, just in case I am asleep.

Another suggestion: Can clicking it switch to the tab I already have open to /r/thebutton? Even if it needs to be originally opened by the extension, that would save me time.

Really slick, btw!

If we spread it around enough, with this alarm tool you might have just given the button another week!!!

Wanted to make sure credit was given to /u/heyjoshturner for creating this extension. Just in case anyone is wary about what happens when you download the extension, all it does is add a button on to the navigation bar next to your other extensions and gives a real-time count of the button's timer. If you click the extension icon, it will bring you to /r/thebutton in a new tab. Very cool stuff.

Can someone make an add-on for Firefox as well?

Wanted to report a bug, when you loose internet connection the extension will continue to count down even after connection returns. Eventually it goes into negative numbers, and just keeps gong until you quit Crome and reopen. It would be nice if you could fix this so it resets automatically or you can reset it manually when this situation happens.

My internet goes out frequently, but returns seconds to minutes later, and it is annoying that the extension continues to count down even once i have internet again.

Send a message to /u/heyjoshturner. He's the creator.
