This would be more helpful with a mini-month calendar to show what days in the past 30 it did update. I purposely disable the google updater and only turn it on when I am ready to update.

Nice idea.

Right now, it is just checking the Chrome release blog Stable channel to see if a release was pushed on the current day http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/2013/07/stable-chan....

It just so happened I clicked on this link just a moment after clicking restart link on Chrome to let it update and it still said no?!

It is just checking http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/2013/07/stable-chan... to see if there was a release 'today' (in theory, taking into account time zones).

Does not check to see if you updated today, which is slightly diff.

I really wish people would open source these types of projects. There's not much reason to protect the source code. The value is in the domain. This site already shows up in the 1st page results for the Google query 'did chrome update today' (duh!).

If the source were available somewhere on Github/Bitbucket/whatever, people with feature suggestions could do the implementation and submit a pull request.

Yes, good idea. I will open source it on Github.
