Hey guys, so for a while I've been using a plugin called ReloadEvery explicitly to reload one of my reddit tabs to update my reddit mail icons. But I've been thinking...
RES is awesome, and does a lot, so why not make a suggestion?
What I would like to suggest is:
RES automatically checks your inbox at an interval.
Two potential ways to do this include:
Querying the API at a decent rate (so it doesn't cap it).
Pulling an HttpRequest until it gets the inbox information, then updates the mail count on the pages and icons (messier).
Now I know both aren't perfect solutions by far, so I would also invite people to share their ideas on how this suggestion could be improved.
The end goal is to allow others, any myself, to refresh and see if there's any new mail without having to use a plugin to make the page refresh over and over.
Thanks for reading, your consideration, and any help refining this idea!
