Another easy to use tool to make it easier to follow your favourite set of tags without needing to have lots of browser tabs left open and refreshed each day.

How to use

1. Click on the Tags menu and then click Add Tag.
2. Setup your group of tags for a result.

- The first text box is the header name of your choice of tags.
- The second text box is the actual tags you would use for searching.
- The number box after is the starting ID from oldest to newest. You can leave this blank and it'll retrieve highest possible value.
- To make things easier. There are checkboxes for easy tag entries.

3. Add many as you want and when you're ready. Go back to Notifications menu and click Check Tags. The script will check for new posts one at a time.
4. When you left-click a result, the ID gets updated and it opens up the actual page of new results if there are any.

All your tags are saved in your browser's storage system which is the upgraded version of the cookie system. When ever you reload the page it'll reload all your entries unless you cleared the storage cache which is just about the size equivalent of a cookie.

Notes

  • A result can only go back as far as 320 results. Older will be skipped past so be sure to check them before reaching the limit.
  • Be sure to check the settings menu. To help recover your set of tags, you can export a JSON of the settings data to import later to reload. If you're like me, you can enable auto check posts when page loads.
  • The tag limit is 6 on e621 searches. 1 tag entry is used for checking from the previous ID.
  • This was very difficult to code up and it's very unlikely that I'll complete the pool follow function in the future since it's possible to just follow the artist. I apologise for the inconvenience.
