Waiting On You

What you get

• A block above your thread list. It lists every thread where an agent asked a question or wants an approval, then every thread that failed while you were elsewhere. It sits above whichever thread list you use and leaves that list as it is.
• The right time. A question shows when it was asked, not when the thread last changed.
• Counters in the title. Counts for waiting, failed, finished-unseen, and working threads, each switched on or off on its own. A counter at zero can hide.
• Keys. ⇧⌘J opens the next thread that needs you, and you can rebind it in bb's keyboard settings. Hold ⌥⌘ and press 1–9 to open a row by its number. Hold ⌘ to see which keys go where.
• Your look. Pick a style, then tune each part with quick picks or in full: markers, colors and icons per kind of thread, one- or two-line rows, time format, alignment, row limit with "+N more", folding, and what shows when nothing needs you.

How it works

The block reads bb's own live thread data in the app, so it updates as threads change. A thread leaves the block once you open it, or once its question is answered. Settings changes wait for Save, with a live preview on the settings page, and reach every open bb window.

Export your settings as JSON from the settings page, or with bb waiting-on-you export, and import them on another machine.

Requirements

Nothing beyond bb. The plugin needs no account, API key, or external service, and sends no data anywhere.
