Feedly Counter Extension

Feedly Counter is a Chrome extension for Feedly, which allows you to see at a glance when you've got unread articles, and gives you easy one-click-access to your feeds.

I made this as an alternative to the original extension when it magically lost this option.


** New in 1.3.3:
- Should hopefully fix the \"grey icon\" bug

** Future works and comments:
I'm currently waiting for Feedly to give me a developer ID so I can make this extension smaller, quicker and safer.
The work is already done, but Feedly is beeing a bit slow with processing my request.
Once I've received this ID, expect a big update coming!

Also, regarding the \"grey icon\"-bug, I appologize for the inconvenience, I just got caught up in work and was unable to fix it until now.
Bugs such as these should not happen, and especially not live for such a long period.

Justin Williams (ID: 000000c662528f14) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/17/2016 Are you going update the icon to match the new format (16x16) for the latest version of chrome?

Henry Harrison (ID: 00000000fa01c2e2) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 04/03/2015 Does what is says on the tin. Two cons: if you already have a Feedly tab open (I like to have it pinned), clicking the icon will open a *new* tab instead of switching to the existing one. All my other "open a website" buttons get this right. Please implement this. 2. It seems to have trouble staying logged in; I often need to click it to get it to update. Not sure what the problem is.
