Azure Notifier Extension

A simple lightweight client side extension for Azure DevOps focusing on adding couple functions I was missing when working with Azure Boards.

Disclaimer: This extension is not an official Microsoft extension. It is a private open source project in initial stage of development and may contain bugs.

Namely:
Adds possibility to collapse all columns on Board, even across swimlanes. By default Azure supports only collapsing of first and last columns (Backlog and Done).

Adds alert notifications for when Board changes (items change Columns). Azure uses WebSockets for real time refreshing. The extension listens to the DOM changes, processes the change accordingly and plays a random alert sound to notify the user. The tab has to be kept open though.

Changelog. When the Board is left open with extension enabled, all the changes Board receives over WebSocket are tracked. Changes can be viewed in Changelog in the extension popup.

Celebration of success - when ticket (Bug, Issue, User Story, ...) reaches the final state (currently columns named \"ready\", \"complete\", \"done\", configurable in future!) the extension plays a cheerful notification (people clapping) and shows balloons overlay to celebrate the achievement.

Configuration - Volume of alerts and cheering can be adjusted, balloons and collapsible icons can be disabled.

Changelog:
0.2.0 - bugfixes
- change tracking does not break when moving items between columns and swimlanes
- fixed bug which added multiple collapse icons to same column when opening ticket details on board and going back
0.1.0 - initial release
