Description from store

Automatically tracks your spot as you read through Homestuck (or any other story on that site: Problem Sleuth, The Homestuck Epilogues, etc.) and brings you back to the last page you've read at the click of a button. No more needing to edit bookmarks manually, or struggling to remember your last page when you forgot to edit the bookmark.

It will also pop-up a notification whenever there is a new update on Homestuck.com. If there are ever any additions to the epilogues, or if a brand new story gets posted, you'll know right away with this extension!

On the Options page, you can:
- turn notifications on or off
- upload a custom notification icon
- upload a custom sound clip to play when there are updates
- turn the page count on or off (if enabled, the button in the toolbar will show how many pages you have left to read)

You can find all the source code for this extension here: https://github.com/JMTyler/homestuck-notifier

The simplified Sburb house icon was created by Chris Howlett: https://howlettstudios.com

Homestuck itself and all related trademarks belong to Andrew Hussie & VIZ Media. The green house-like icon for this extension was inspired by the Homestuck Sburb icon, which belongs to Andrew Hussie & VIZ Media.

This extension was previously called "MSPA Notifier" back when Homestuck could be found on MSPaintAdventures.com.

That One Snazzy Artist 2019-12-30: Heya..this extension has served an amazing purpose, and it should continue to do so with homestuck^2. for some reason homestuck^2 (a direct continuation of the candy route (that frequently jumps into the meat timeline) of the..gonna butcher the spelling, epilogues.) isnt connected to the homestuck site directly, but it would still serve a great purpose if the notifyer worked with that to! (since it will be updated over tim just like homestuck and the epilogues.)

Rey Nicholson 2016-04-13: Homestuck is over. This app has served me well over the years and years I have used it. Setting a different notification sound between updates to surprise me when Hussie finally updated the comic was incredible, and I have used it more than probably any other app I own. Thank you, developers, for keeping me, and countless others, updated on our favourite comic. Thank you.

Betsy Hanes Perry 2016-03-29: This seems to be broken as of the 3/29 update. It shows me as having -16 pages to read although I've finished the whole thing, and it doesn't have a sound file or icon to play when the update goes live.

Anonymous 2015-09-06: I need backup upon backup keeping me notified in case the omegapause ends early. RSS feeds, upd8 ninja, and this plugin all work together to ensure I don't miss it by a second. It's pretty cool!
Haley Bennett 2015-07-09: so mazin. jus so so mazin

Eric Vilas 2014-12-10: Works perfectly, except for one thing... the "Mark as last read" doesn't really work. I checked the firefly format on page 777777 (the one he uses to test formats) and it marked that as my "last read" and I couldn't change it back.I had to reinstall it for it to work properly again. EDIT: there are 2 different places to set something as the last page. One is by right-clicking the page (works) and the other is by right-clicking the icon (doesn't work)

Hunter “Rook” Elliot 2014-11-06: Works very well-- one question though, when the icon changes to the MSPA Reader with a gun-- what does that mean? The pumpkin is obvious.
