I was scrolling [this page](http://askubuntu.com/q/30334/152405), and one of indicators attracted me. This one:

> [**StackApplet**](http://stackoverflow.quickmediasolutions.com/stackapplet/) is a GNOME panel applet that monitors your activity on any StackExchange site.  
> ![stackapplet](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/2X/2/2b4baca29bdd0dd237adcfe1b5ec33fc7184d306.png)
> 
> To install it, use [this ppa](https://launchpad.net/~george-edison55/+archive/george-edison). The first time the application is used, run `python /usr/share/stackapplet/stackapplet.py &` from a terminal.

Is it possible to change the source to make it ready for Discourse?

This feels like a bit of a premature request. It’s possible for the structure of several things in Discourse to change in the future, and I wouldn’t want to have to be supporting two `notifications.json` formats in the code for that.

Maybe revisit this in a few months?

I didn’t get what you said! However I added it to Google calender to bump the topic for 2/3 next months 😊
