I have been looking for some sort of Facepunch Desktop app.
Something that pops up when there has been a post that you subbed to or a new post in a thread you made
Dunno if one has been made but i would sure hell use it
No
Well could someone make one?
Why yes, the whole Facepunch programming community will get on it right away. Any specifics you'd like to request?
Don't be sarcastic
it would probably be easy to make in VB, might give it a quick go if i have 30 min to spare but i aint making any promises.

Thank you
I already made a chrome extension that does this, the problem is; when I started using it regularly in order to test it further, I spent weeks with no real life outside of facepunch.
Therefore I kind of ditched the idea, and I strongly suggest you do the same.

This isn't going to happen.
Also if anyone is interested in trying this just make it read the ticker.
Wasn't there some ticker desktop app a while back?

I'd be happy with that also ^_^

I also thought that to
Some one already made this. I forgot what it was called, but it was around 2007-2008. It would notify you when there was a reply to yours, a new post in one of your threads, and other crap like that.

That's what i have been looking for, but can't find it :(
It doesn't exist any more, all the mirrors are down.

Aww shit, wished someone could re-create it
If I had sufficient knowledge I would design something like this.
Probably something with a notification bar at the top, a live ticker feed display. Likely even a PM bubble based conversation system.
Anybody got any idea what would be a good langauge ( or combination of langauges ) to work on something like this?
I think C# would be a good language for this.
Anyone going to try and re-create it, it would be awesome ^_^

I only know VB at the moment, but have been looking for a project to help me move over to a more superior language... So I'll make it a goal to me learning C#. But don't expect anything for a few months.
Awesome, love to know what you come up with ^_^
I made one around the same time as the other one. I don't have the original version, but [url=http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1468534/FPTicker.rar]here[/url] is the source of a newer version. I was in the middle of allowing people to copy the cookies from the browser when I stopped working on it, so it needs some work to make it functional. Do what you want with it, but if you release something, I wouldn't mind if you mentioned me in the credits.
Seems to be an easy project, I might take a shot with VB2008...
Oh no, the number of people suggesting they're gonna try anything in VB in this tread is makig me nervous.
I remember the old desktop app, it worked pretty well, but I ne'er really used it much. Having a life and all.
I've made a quick C# program which loads the posts, but without the cookies it isn't really worth anything yet.

Holidays, dude... I would do anything to keep myself awake!

Feel free to use it in any way you want.

Great, thanks!

It actually works! :v:
You're welcome!
And.. yeah, it "sort of" works.. aside from some inconsistencies, glitches and hidden bugs.
Oh, and no options screen, didn't get to put that in; so you'll have to edit the code directly to adjust the parameters. (take a look at line 30 in background.js if you want to monitor threads in additional forum sections; line 35 defines the filtering function, if you change the function to "return true;" all messages will be shown)
Take care with its memory use however, it can eat [i]lots[/i] of memory if left running for a prolonged period of time.
Thanks for that ^_^
If you'd want me to, I could write something in Java that would do this. :v:
