This unofficial Chrome extension for Quora was released in late 2010 and reached more than 3,000 users overnight. It was built before the Quora API existed, but now uses the extension API to ensure quickness and stability.

The extension shows the Quora logo next to your Omnibox, where a dynamic badge displays how many notifications and unread messages you have. Clicking on the icon drops down a Quora UI where you can click through to each notification (opening it in a new tab), or search Quora directly.

This extension can be downloaded for free at the Chrome Web Store.

The source code can be viewed and downloaded on GitHub.

If you’re a busy guy, you can appreciate any time-saving methods out there. TL;DR is a Chrome extension I built on top of a private API provided to me by the guys at Too-Long-Didn’t-Read. In a nutshell, users can submit summaries for any page on the Internet. As you browse with the Chrome extension, you are alerted if a page you’re on has a summary, which you can then view and decide if the page is worth reading more into.

Every day on Google+ there is a thriving photographer community that curates and posts photos around daily themes. Some of these themes are #SilhouetteSunday and #FrogFriday, and they guide what great photos you’ll find on the site each day.

I built a Daily Photo Theme Viewer to visualize the images that are posted under each theme every day. It can sort ports by +1′s, recency, or randomly. Searching allows you to view the images posted under any subject, not just the daily themes.

Check out the live project at the Daily Photo Theme Viewer site.
