How do you market your extension and how do you fee your users are to an extension itself? I’m building an extension right now and curious as to what normal browser users think of extensions.

#142Your product page ( https://blackmagic.so/ ) is very well-done. My first impression is that it is even one of the best I have ever seen. What tools/frameworks did you use for building the frontend ?
Thanks! You can see the complete tech stack I used here: https://tdinh.notion.site/What-is-my-tech-stack-2fe29f9df531...
Thanks for sharing this! Always interesting to see the tech stack for one-man projects like this

#143A lot of the comments in this thread aren't doing anything to put the memes about HN commenters to rest.

#144Well deserved. Signed up to give it a try. Very cool so far! I had no idea the level of engagement I was getting.

Yes, I’m seeing a ton of jealousy. It’s very obvious.

#146Adding on to the pile, I make around $250 / month helping people make browser extensions that make money :) https://extensionpay.com

#147Earlier quoted context omitted.
I find your post very interesting. I don’t care what the “rules” about Show HN are, this is a good read and that’s it. Thanks for sharing.
Post is interesting, I give you that. But why should we ignore categorization all of a sudden? "Show HN" is strictly about something people can use or play around with, not just read, this is defined in the rules/guidelines of HN itself. For the same reason good titles are enforced, so it gets easier to navigate everything.
I stand corrected, I agree with you now that I see it that way. Thanks for the perspective.

#148Hello HN, I see another post sharing their success micro startups today on HN so I thought I should share mine. I started working on this browser extension for Twitter 8 months ago. It took 3 months to reach $60/mo, 3 more to reach $400/mo, and 2 more to reach $3K/mo – where I am now. When I start, I had 0 followers on Twitter. When it reaches $400/mo, I quit my job. I now live freely from corporate drama and travel…
Isn’t quitting at $400/month a bit premature? That’s $4800 a year, which isn’t even more than one paycheck from a software engineering job.
Depends on where on Earth you live, I guess.

#149Aren't Show HNs supposed to link to the actual product for people to play with, not a blog post about making money? There's nothing wrong with sharing wins here, or new products. But it feels 'off' to me to see a Show HN next to a braggy blog title (I'm used to seeing plenty of either on their own, though!).
yes but sometimes I feel like a bit of context about why or how someone makes a product helps.
