So I noticed not many people know how to script google chrome apps, and those that do simply don't or find it useless. (it's incredibly easy, actually. Chrome is easy to write apps for, especially simple ones, which is what i'm best at)
So I decided I'd write one up for the gbatemp forums.
Dark and Light preview images.
I just gimped together an icon from the website, wrote up a manifest, and packed it together with the chrome extensions page.
clicking on it opens the forums just like a bookmark does, simple, but effective.
Unfortunately I can't put it on the Chrome Web store because I'd need this site's permissions to do so, and also, I haven't registered my google account as a web developer and payed the 5$ fee.
But, the good news is you can still install it in chrome if you want.
Just download the CRX (if downloading in chrome, right click download, and save link as)
drag n' drop the CRX on the chrome extensions page, and hit OK
Alternatively you can create a shortcut to chrome with " --enable-easy-off-store-extension-install" (without the quotes) at the end of the target area, and load google chrome with that to make installing future non webstore apps easier.
Download White : Download Dark
If anyone would like to put this up on the chrome web store, contact me in a private message and we'll discuss.
I think you'd need Costello's permission to put up an app that links to the site. I'm not 100% on the development terms for the Chrome webstore though, I only skimmed the terms.
Edit: Reading into it, I think Costello himself actually would need to post the app, as I think you need to verify you own the site the app leads to.
