Saving Important Notifications with a Chrome Extension: Steemit Notification Saver
After my friend @wakeupkitty mentioned me in a post by @grebmot here that he was having trouble saving important notifications on Steemit, I realized I was facing the same issue especially when I had a lot of notifications piling up, it was easy to miss important ones in the shuffle, so, I decided to create a Chrome extension to solve this problem.
What is the steemit notification saver?
The Steemit Notification Saver is a simple Chrome extension that lets you save, search, and filter important notifications from Steemit, if you find yourself struggling to keep track of notifications, this extension is designed to make it easier.
You can install the extension here:
Steemit Notification Saver on Chrome Web Store
How to use the notification saver extension
To use the extension, follow these steps:
Go to the notifications page: Open the notifications page on Steemit where all your notifications are listed.
Click on the notification you want to save: Find the notification you want to keep, and click on it to open the details.
click on the extension icon: Once you have the notification open, click on the Steemit Notification Saver icon in your browser toolbar.
Saved notifications list: You'll see a list of saved notifications. You can search by the name of the user mentioned in the notification, filter by the type of notification & view the number of each type.
Managing saved notifications: The extension allows you to easily manage your saved notifications, keeping track of the ones that are most important to you, and you can delete the saved notfication .
The extension saves notifications locally, not in a database
You can watch a step by step tutorial on how to use the extension here:

Upvoted! Thank you for supporting witness @jswit.
Hey friend, great you made it this far! I am super proud of you.
I downloaded the extension to give it a try but I hope it can be used with the KIWI or Samsung browser and Firefox.
I am not sure if @grebmot uses Chrome (neither am I).
What I could see so far is that it works but what I miss is the warning that a post is pinnend (or unpinned). I cliked at a comment twice to find out there was nothing in the list.
An other point is that I can't tell if I see the notifications what it is about.
Is it a post like yours, an informative link or a thought to write about or a creative writing I shared? I believe these are the notifications grebmot and I are printing.
It would also be helpful if notifications which we still have to answer could be pinned (a certain colour or different pin?).
Thanks for doing this. I let you know what the results are on the longer term.

How to add Chrome extensions on android using kiwi browser
The first workaround is to use Kiwi Browser, a third-party Chromium-based browser, kiwi Browser installs fast and loads up quickly and most importantly, supports Chrome extensions on mobile phones.
Here are steps to add chrome extensions on android using kiwi:
After you've turned on Developer Mode in the Kiwi Browser, you can install Chrome extensions by following these steps:
to manage extensions in the browser, hit the three dots in the upper-right corner. Then, select Extensions to view a catalog of your installed extensions. You can disable, update, or remove extensions with a few taps.
To use an extension, tap the three-dot menu in the top right and select the extension name at the bottom of the menu.
While using extensions is a rapid and simple solution, a dedicated mobile app might be a more effective solution . so i ecourage to use inthe computer

can you run it?
Yeah, works fine from what I can tell. You install the extension from the Chrome store and pin it. Then you just right click on a notification and click 'Save Steemit Noticication' and that's it. Has potential.

If you use chrome it does I only wish I could give the pin a name. That would be helpful.

Thanks Kitty!
