netflixQ Extension

(NOTE: Netflix now offers lists in all markets, so you probably don't need this anymore)

Chrome Extension to build a list of Netflix movies to watch. For the rest of the world that doesn't have Netflix Queue access.

**Features**

* Adds a NetflixQ button. Click that, and it will add to your list.
* Click on the Red Star icon in your toolbar, and you will see your list of movies you want to watch.

Why?
----

Just subscribed to netflix.ca, and was browsing the movies. I couldn't find a 'digital' queue for what I wanted to watch later. Seems like an obvious feature for them to have built in, so wonder if I'm missing something obvious?

In any case, I suppose I could just bookmark the movies, but I wanted to make a chrome extension. This seemed like a simple enough use case.

Who?
----

If you have any issues or problems to report, best way is through the github repo dedicated to this extension: http://github.com/meeech/netflixq

Feedback welcome through github, or via twitter: @meeech

I use some icons from Circular Icons - http://prothemedesign.com/circular-icons/

In case this isn't obvious, I and this extension have no relation to Netflix.

Christopher (ID: 0000000f7056d420) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 08/10/2013 Was working well for like half an hour, now the option to add films to the queue isn't showing up. Would really like if they a) showed up b) showed you that a movie is already in your queue c) had a full page with film description and such.
