User reviews

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.)

Will it be updated so it'll work for Homestuck 2? This would be very useful.
