What's my LinkedIn to sign up for the beta, really? expecting to get real answers to that one?

I have to agree - the LinkedIn requirement was a deal breaker for myself. I have one, but I already gave my real name and email. What if I didn't have a one?

My inner conspiracy voice is telling me this is a fake and just a front for headhunters. Absurd, but true haha.

Hi HN! Thank you for taking the time to check out extension.dev! My two co-founders and I built extension.dev to help developers better create internal chrome extensions for their teams. It's been really exciting seeing what kind of extensions people are already creating and hoping to create.

We are very early and a small team so please bear with us as we roll out developer preview invites!

Hi, thanks for the thought! We're definitely real and building this. We did recently rebrand/pivot but here is a Twitter post of our old extension https://twitter.com/RealKevinYang/status/1285992001125531653

You can also check out my linkedin profile haha https://www.linkedin.com/in/zihua-liu/

Hi! We asked for a linkedin to get a better idea on who are interested in tools like this. Internal chrome extension seems to not have too many discussion around it so we have a lot of questions as well!

We also get too many waitlist entries that say test eerer test52422@yopmail.com https://https:linkedin.com/1123123123 testing so we use LinkedIn as a way to filter out the serious folks from the spammers

What does Walmart, Facebook and Medallia have to do with it?

Hi! Thanks for the question. We put these logs there because we had users in these companies with our previous version of extension! We'll make it more clear when we update the landing page again :)
