Gentle Alerts
Google chrome extension to convert alerts into gentle notifications
Chrome Web Store npm
Build Status Test Coverage Code Climate install size
I started this project after getting annoyed with Google Calendar's event notifications. They used to have nice soft notifications, but they broke it when they graduated their feature from google labs and they haven't fixed it.
The extension will replace the built-in browser alert window with a modal which won't force you to context switch between tabs. It also prevents you from accidentally closing alert windows when you're typing.
You can close the modal by pressing "Enter", "Escape", or "Space". When opening, it has an audio chime.
