Artstation Discover Extension

ArtStation Discover enables art lovers to discover amazing new artwork while browsing. Simply open a new tab and it will load a random pick from ArtStation.com. Set which medium & subject matter to pull from. Like artworks and follow artists.

v1.2.6 released
===========
Added support for new mediums and subject matter.

NEW IN 1.2 - HISTORY AND LIKE/FOLLOW
===============================
You now have a history of all the works that have shown! Just click the history button and navigate back to what you've seen. Super useful for those situations when you see a fantastic artwork but the website you're browsing to loads. :)

You can also now Like artworks from within the extension, and Follow artists too. Just sign in to ArtStation at https://www.artstation.com, and when you load the extension, you'll see the Like and Follow buttons.

We've also improved the UI for when you're offline.

SETTINGS
========
Click the gear icon on the bottom left of the screen.
* Set which medium and subject matter to pull from.
* Set Autoplay - which automatically fetches a new image every 5 seconds (configurable).

Notes
====
If you are using the default Chrome home page which shows the bookmarks bar at the top of the page, you may find that using ArtStation Discover takes over the chrome home page and therefore your bookmarks bar doesn't show anymore. To always show your bookmark bar, you need to set chrome to always show it:

On Windows, go to your bookmarks settings and turn on \"Show Bookmarks Bar\". Ctrl + Shift + B
On Mac click \"View > Always Show Bookmark Bar\". Command + Shift + B

Chris Lee (ID: 00000075e54bc135) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/22/2023 This is an excellent option for a new page on chrome. However people may want to switch back to the default chrome page temporarily, so I have a feature request... Add a "toggle on/off" option in the right click menu of the extension icon. When the option is clicked on it will revert to the default chrome window without removing the Artstation icon from the chrome extension toolbar. In addition there could be additional options for this button in preferences when you manage extension to change how it functions: Toggle off on the current tab only; Toggle off for 5/10/30 minutes; Toggle off for 1/6/12/24 hours; Toggle off until toggled on again.

John Norton (ID: 000000f3263e378a) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/26/2023 For what it does it works well, but I tend to go to a new tab for the quick sites so had to remove it again, a shame, if it worked more s a background or even lead image with sites\news to the right I'd have loved it.
