**🔔 Aar318's Stream Notifier: Live Alerts for Twitch and Kick** Keep track of your favorite Twitch and Kick streamers from any browser tab. Stream Notifier adds a draggable floating button that opens a responsive dashboard showing who is live, along with thumbnails, viewer counts, favorites, quick previews, and direct links to each stream. **🚀 Getting Started** 1. Install the extension and pin it from your extension menu for easy access. 2. Open the **Streamers** panel and add a Twitch or Kick channel, or use **+ This Page** while visiting a supported channel. 3. Mark important creators as favorites and allow notifications when prompted. 4. Leave the extension running—status checks and live alerts continue automatically in the background. **✨ New Features (v3.42.0.3)** - **Unified Seasonal Controls:** Holiday colors now extend cleanly across both the Streamers button and its attached position lock. - **Immediate Theme Refresh:** Enabling or disabling holiday themes updates both attached controls without requiring a page reload. **⭐ Key Features** - **Twitch and Kick Tracking:** Monitor individual creators on either platform, or track the same creator on both platforms from one entry. - **Session Dashboard:** Review newly live, recently ended, longest-live, rising-viewer, and favorite activity per profile. Session history is local, bounded, manually clearable, and optionally cleared on a schedule. - **Favorite-First Checks:** Favorites are checked immediately when selected, every 30 seconds on a coordinated priority cycle, and first during complete status checks. - **Live Desktop Alerts:** Receive click-to-open notifications when a tracked streamer goes live, with cooldowns, duplicate prevention, grouped summaries for busy startup checks, and optional favorite alert sounds. - **Flexible Snooze Options:** Pause notifications for preset or custom durations, indefinitely, or through a recurring quiet-hours schedule with an optional favorite exception. - **Streamer Management:** Add channels manually, detect creators from supported pages, import from Twitch Following, search tracked channels, and use clickable close-match suggestions when a name is mistyped. - **Profiles and Favorites:** Create separate profiles such as Gaming, Work, or Late Night, then pin favorites to the top of each profile. - **Live Cards and Previews:** View status dots, thumbnails, viewer counts, recent alert details, direct stream links, inline previews, and compact audio controls. - **Private Insights Dashboard:** Reveal **Stats for Nerds** from Settings to view local activity totals, performance records, streaks, platform breakdowns, and a 14-day chart. - **Responsive Dashboard:** Choose Full, Compact, or Mini density, filter by platform, hide offline channels, and retain your place during background refreshes. - **Mobile-Friendly Layout:** Phone-width screens use a safe-area-aware bottom drawer, touch-friendly controls, stable scrolling, short-lived NEW badges, and responsive card grids. - **Custom Appearance and Placement:** Includes dark mode, seasonal themes, custom colors, adjustable opacity, Simple UI, draggable positioning, an optional attached lock, and collision avoidance with YouTube Notifier when both off-site controls are enabled. - **Site Exclusions:** Hide the global overlay on selected domains, paths, or wildcard URL patterns while continuing to use it elsewhere. - **Backup and Recovery:** Import/export configurations, create manual backups, or use deduplicated automatic backups with configurable retention and empty-profile recovery. - **Performance for Large Lists:** Progressive row creation, bounded status history, lazy thumbnails, and cleanup of detached controls keep long-running tabs responsive. - **Toolbar Shortcuts:** Use the extension-icon menu to open the panel, check immediately, add or remove the current channel, manage notification sleep, or open support links. **🔐 Permissions & Privacy** - **Storage:** Saves streamer lists, profiles, exclusions, notification history, appearance settings, quiet hours, session data, private statistics, and optional backups locally. - **Notifications:** Displays system alerts when tracked streamers go live. - **Context Menus:** Adds extension-icon shortcuts for panel access, status checks, current-channel management, notification sleep, and support links. - **Host Permissions:** Allows the optional floating dashboard to appear on browser pages and permits public live-status requests to Twitch and Kick. Background requests are restricted to approved Twitch and Kick endpoints. - **Privacy:** Streamer data, history, backups, sessions, and preferences remain in local browser storage. No analytics or external tracking service is used. **ℹ️ Notes** - Twitch or Kick login is not required for live-status checks. - Stream availability, previews, and viewer information depend on data exposed by Twitch and Kick. - No account authentication, analytics, or remote tracking is used.
