Description
Tracks Spectrum messages from CIG developers, providing real-time desktop notifications for new posts. Spectrum CIG Tracker brings real-time updates from CIG developers and MoTD directly to your desktop, perfect for Star Citizen fans looking to stay on top of community discussions and development news. With this extension, you can select developers to follow, and Spectrum CIG Tracker will automatically notify you of their posts and MoTD updates through instant OS notifications, ensuring you’re always in the loop without needing to refresh Spectrum. Simply keep your browser open in the background to receive updates effortlessly. The intuitive interface makes it easy to customize your tracking preferences, while a detailed notification history provides quick access to past updates whenever needed. Spectrum CIG Tracker operates smoothly with optimized login handling: after your initial login, the extension uses stored cookies, allowing you to close the RSI website and still receive updates. The Spectrum CIG Tracker operates safely within your browser, with no data shared with external servers. For added peace of mind, the full code is available to view on GitHub. https://github.com/f4sh/Spectrum-CIG-Tracker Please make sure cookies are enabled, as Spectrum CIG Tracker relies on them for authentication. If cookies are missing, the extension will prompt you to log in. Once logged in, you’re all set - no need to keep the RSI website open, just your browser.
