All my Gmail notfications are 43 years old. I'm in europe so maybe it can't handle the 24h time format?

Apart from that it's really great! Would love to see some common forums supported (but that would be tricky as you would need access to many different domains).

I did a "Clear All" and the notifications just disappeared from the extension, my Gmail mails are still unread.

This looks fantastic. Just one bit. Are you proudly developing this only for Chrome, or is that just a support limitation right now? I ask this because you didn't write something along the lines of expecting it to be released elsewhere soon - you wrote "exclusively" for Chrome. I ask this because I currently use Firefox most frequently (although I installed Chime on my Chrome installation to test it). It might be a b…

Thanks! We developed Chime for Chrome first just to get it out in the hands of our users. Based on the responses in the first week since launch, we're already looking at support for Firefox/Safari. I also mentioned this elsewhere in this thread, but we're hoping to create a way for other sites to deliver notifications through Chime. Haven't considered independent hackers just yet, but it is something we'll keep in mi…

There are platforms like CrossRider[1] or trigger.io[2] that allow you to deploy cross-browser add-ons, should be easy to port to since it's already in javascript.

I had 49 notifications upon installing it (my inbox has ~200 unread e-mails), maybe that triggered a bug. I disabled Gmail an it works now.

Clear all will just hide all notifications from Chime. Marking them as read is too undo-able, we wouldn't want users to accidentally mark a ton of important emails as read.

Perhaps we should change it to "Hide All"...

For people who don't want to be productive ever again. Sorry, I shouldn't be so negative, it looks like a great app. I just know that's the effect it would have on me.

I've actually found that having instant notifications about events on distracting sites keeps me from checking those distracting sites and coming across other distractions on them. Net win.
