Can this be used with Firefox? This looks really good. Either way, thank you for creating it and sharing.
I’ve been using the notifier, this may replace that. Pretty handy thing this is. Good work. 
This is great, but it causes some weird behaviour. After each review/lesson (even correct ones) it opens ‘Item Info’, which is really annoying. Switching off the extensions removes the problem. Other than that, it’s pretty neat.

The turtles move upon mouse hover!! How kawaii. Koichi should do this.
Thanks a lot for your kind feedback!
Aleithian said...Could you add an option to retract an incorrect input? I hate silly mistakes ruining my progress.I really don't know what to think about this feature. I know that sometimes it's really frustrating, but that kind of stupid mistakes we are doing are also part of the game. Maybe I will think about implementing it in the future.
Anyway, I did not say it on my first post, but all the userscripts developed for the HTTPS version of the website will also impact WaniKani Companion. So while waiting, maybe you can try this one (which I never tried, so I cannot guarantee that this userscript is working properly).
cptcack said... Can this be used with Firefox? This looks really good. Either way, thank you for creating it and sharing.Today this extension is available with Google Chrome only. But of course, if in the future I have some time to spend on that, I'll think about creating a Firefox version. Otherwise, if a developer here wants to work on it, I'll be honored that he/she fork my project on GitHub.

I understand that this behavior can be disturbing, so I updated WaniKani Companion, and you can now enable or disable this feature from the settings page. Each time this setting is changed, it will take effect at the next review/lesson session.

amazing extension but this feature didnt work for me:
“Desktop notifications: be notified of your lessons and reviews directly on your desktop” , and the extension doesnt produce any sound when i have pending reviews so if i am in the desktop i cant hear or see any alert that says i have pending reviews.

If you're using a portable or other special version of Google Chrome, the notifications may work in your brower but not on the desktop.
About sounds on notifications, yes I want to add this feature. I just need to find the perfect sound, if anyone here have a suggestion ...? :)

my notifications are enabled, i am using chrome 40.0.2214.115 , windows 8.1 , Surface Pro 2, wanikani companion settings: data refresh interval 5 min, notification lifetime: no limit, how does it looks like when you have desktop notifications? i didnt see anything.
i restarted my PC, now notifications are working, like a banner, thank you so much for this application! now we only need a ring alert and it will be perfect!

Hello! A new update including sound notifications has just been published! However the community ideas for a better melody are still open, so do not hesitate to give your suggestions 
Really like the extension! Was wondering if you could make the window resizeable?
thanks for your effort and fast update of the extension, i really like it because i am working in my PC the whole day, i have an issue, sometimes i dont get the notifications and review updates, the small icon just show 0 reviews. i dont close my chrome navigator in the whole day, i dont know if this issue is because it, i use another navigators at the same time too, i need use constantly chrome to get the review updates? i just let chrome open while i am using firefox or internet explorer.

I still receive notifications when my Chrome is minimized. I don't think that the issue is related with the others browsers. It would be great if you can say me what's happen on your side. For this, use your computer as usual, and when you think that the problem happened :
1. Maximize Chrome, and go to chrome://extensions
2. Under the WaniKani Companion part, click on "Inspect views: background page". (If it's written "(Inactive)" next to this text, please tell me.)
3. In the new popup, go to the Console tab, and tell me if you have any messages here.
deadperfect said... Really like the extension! Was wondering if you could make the window resizeable?Thanks deadperfect! I didn't build this extension to be resizable, so adding this functionality would require to significantly improve the graphic design to fit on any size. I don't have the time to work on it for now, but, for sure, I'll think about it if many of you are interested in this feature!
Thank you, it is really good =)
Is this still being updated? :<
After wanikani went out of beta, the app stopped refreshing the review count. I have to click on the icon in my browser to make it update properly.
