WaniKani Notifier Redux Extension

Keep track of how many reviews are ready for you on WaniKani!

Features:
* Displays the total number of reviews available to study
* Optionally displays a desktop notification
* Mouse over the extension's icon to see the time of your next review
* Click on the extension's icon to access WaniKani.com

Note: This extension is a fork of t0asterb0t studios' WaniKani Notifier extension. I modified it to work with WaniKani's recent update to site-wide HTTPS, as well as changes in underling site structure.

CHANGELOG:

v0.3.2
- The badge showing number of available reviews should update itself according to the chosen refresh period, as well as when reviews are completed

v0.3.1
- Tweaked some wording in Options

v0.3.0
- Initial Release
