Extension summary

This extension is for people who read a lot of webcomics but can't necessarily keep up to date each day. This extension allows you to keep a folder of webcomics updated with two clicks each time you stop reading.

An example morning for me involved going to xkcd, scrolling back to the last one I read, then reading from then on. That was annoying and took far too many clicks, so I wrote this extension to help. Now I just go to my bookmarks folder, click xkcd and I'm on the last one I read. When I read through as many as I have time for I can just right click and save my place for the next day.

If you don't have a folder named "Comics" in your bookmarks bar it will create one when Chrome loads, this may require you to restart Chrome. From then on it will update that spot in the folder each time you update your saved page.


Known issues have been fixed. Let me know if you find anything new.

Was great when i first got it a few weeks ago, but lately never updates the bookmarks at all, im having to manually add them, which defeats the purpose of it

The idea is great! What I miss is the ability to activly choose a folder in my bookmars (mine for example is named W.C.) and a keybord shortcut (ctrl + alt + D maybe?) to minimize clicking. Sometimes it works and sometimes it won't. I've tried renaming my W.C. folder to Comics, and creating a new folder named Comics but sometimes it won't save the link or update. Once it chose my W.C. folder and starded updating the links in there, that was awesome! Then I managed to close down the window when messing around to find shortcuts and the it woldn't work again, at all.... :/
