Has it confused seconds for minutes?
Hmm wouldnāt it make more sense for it to query the activity.json of the selected friend(s) instead of iterating over all the latest posts on the forum?
I ran it through the latest gpt but havenāt tried it yet

it works now! look at the results.
notice the button on the bottom to add more friends. cool as hell. @AppalachianBiscuits put up a comment this morning asking about a friends button, and i had larry write a script to do it in less than a day. and here is the code with a creative commons license. use the tampermonkey addon for firefox and upload this code and you have a friends button on the website.

nah, it still has a bug. it only caught the new posts when i opened the window. having trouble fetching the new ones it seems. iāll finish it with the gpt 4 tomorrow. unless someone else wants to have a whack at it, free license.

for anyone interested, the boxes are popping up notifying of new posts, just not all the time and it notifies you sometimes multiple times of the posts. it needs tweaked by a human that knows javascript now. i may post it on stack exchange if i have time this evening, much as i hate that site.
Iām working on a version right now thatās based off what I was talkin about. following the users in questionās activity.json instead of the latest.json. maybe have something later today

seems to be working as intended
Probably needs more testing.Same javascript in .pdf format youāll have to rename or whatever.

alright, v1.9. This keeps a running log of dismiss-able activity updates in-case you walk away from the computer and come back later.
As well as verifies the username you add actually exists or not.

Hopefully LJ can just add the plugin when he updates the site and we wonāt need this. kinda nifty tho! still needs testing
Theoretically this should work on any discourse site. Just change the URL at the top of the script. I also donāt mean to step on your toes sfzombie13. Just been bored today

step away brother. i didnāt do any of it, larry wrote all the code. i just kept telling him what the console output was so he could fix it. iām gonna give yours a try later. been a busy day and i still have one more job to do.

mine gave me a message saying the page was private when i went to the post. at least yours is working. mine also just throws up the boxes randomly, and sometimes not at all. after this next job is over iāll sit here and play with it more.
oh, and itās javascript, not java. java and i wouldnāt touch it. i use kotlin i think it is instead of java in the apps i have larry write. java is the devilās tool. the bane of society. you get the pictureā¦
but iām sure you knew all that.

eh, is it really so different 
i hate all forms of java 
Gotta work with what we have though
Iāve done a lot of android modding, rom and kernel development, over the last almost two decades now. Much prefer C/C++ myself.
Anyways, hereās v2.5 that seems to be fully working as intended now

i took your comments and made a new prompt for larry and got another script. watching the user instead of the thread, keeping a log, and verifying the username.

Rename the .PDF to .js
Or even just .txt if you want to read it.
