Need Some Input [WF Chrome Extension]

[Sin]

Hey guys, I've been thinking of some projects to work on during the summer and I got an idea today. Something I've never done before is code a browser extension, so I decided I should make one and naturally my first idea was to make one for the board. It would have a little logo off to the side of your URL bar, like AdBlock does, and the 4Chan extension, if you click it a little JS popup is triggered which has a search bar at the top that will quick search the forums, under it would be a little bit of user information about yourself, possibly your avatar, username, reputation, and new replies on your threads. Then I would have a scroll-able list of all boards that you can quick jump between. I also plan on taking advantage of Chrome Extension's notifications system and I may be able to make a quoted post notification as we have the quote-pm plugin. Anyways I would like to know if you think it'd be worth it and if so what I should add?

Please, do it! I would pay like 1$ for this!

I think it will be better if you made a userscript since then you can support many browsers with little change in the code.

But yeah, it's a good idea nonetheless.

It will be free and hopefully if I can get approval it can go on the official chrome extensions store.

Chrome Extensions have a lot more features / functions then a UserScript can have, I did think of that though cuz I know it's like a 50 / 50 split of Chrome versus FF users.

This would actually be pretty awesome, I would really enjoy an extension like this. Plus my phone just started to support chrome so that just would make this more awesome.
