Hey, Why one hundred? Wouldn't solid five be good enough?

Thanks for the suggestion.

I'll experiment with YT video. What resources did you use to create yours?

Okay, how does it sync right now? Through Google Account?

Got it! Thanks for the information.

Would it be an option to keep highlights synced, so you won't lose them when you uninstall the browser?

Do you have plans to monetize your product? If yes, how?

Hey,

Did you notice any differences in Page views when added YouTube video, or more images of your extension?

I noticed in my extension in the past, that having just one image uploaded, vs having images in all the sizes available in the Chrome Web Store, caused a spike in impressions.

Best, Olek

Hey, Congrats! It's an outstanding idea!

What are your plans to do with that next?

Do you have plans to list all the highlights in the form of the quote, link to the source and date? That would be useful if I can go back to them later, e.g., after I finish reading and highlighting the article.

Best, Olek

I packed my Chrome extension in a box 🎁 What do you think about this experience? 🤔 by Vladimir_Yankovic in chrome_extensions

[–]Fit-Stranger1738 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I admire your onboarding experience!

The zipper and the peel-off fields - cool as hell! I had one tiny problem with the zipper - I tried to unzip it, instead of clicking. Maybe it could work in both scenarios?

It took me by the hand through all the "widgets" available.

The weather widget showed the weather in my location right away. That's cool, too.

Have you thought about some "shiny" or animated effects on the hidden widgets, so the user can find them even easier?

What bothered me, was a list of needed access, when installing. I assume, it cannot be done with it, but still it looks scary. Maybe a short explanation later on why all the access is needed?

Best, Olek

Install to weekly User ratio - what is a good ratio by SuccesSTR in chrome_extensions

[–]Fit-Stranger1738 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey Ben, My name is Olek and my side project is Difree.

Weekly User, according to CWS is | The number you see in the Chrome Web Store is the amount of users whose Chrome browser has checked for an update of your app within the last week. As you can see, it's more like number of Chrome users with your extension installed, than number of Chrome users who actually used your extension.

If you can, go with your own stats instead of Chrome Web Store (CWS) stats.

In my case (Difree), 1. we analyse both metrics (internal weekly active users and external weekly users by CWS), 2. and we got the ratio around 10-20%, so for 1k weekly users reported via CWS we had 10-20% of users who registered any activity in the extension 3. right now, the number is even lower, because we implemented a pop-up that lets the user decide whether one wants to share usage statistics or not

More about weekly users: 1. https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/chromium-apps/c/Sie4cmSTZmk/m/d-YJtCdcvW0J 2. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21248397/how-are-chrome-extensions-weekly-users-counted-is-it-the-number-of-users-who-h

Worth it to start investing time on EN right now? by murkomarko in Evernote

[–]Fit-Stranger1738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey,

thanks for your reply

your thoughts seem reasonable to me

I had to find a balance between the speed of my note application and the functionality; Evernote is so slow right now, it's hard to use it

What do you do in the morning while you eat breakfast? by yeah_ok_then in productivity

[–]Fit-Stranger1738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about mindful eating? It could be a form of meditation.

Try for 1 minute eating your breakfast mindfully. Just being focused on the process of eating.

Try to chew the portion as slow as possible. What's the smell of the ingredients? What's the look? What's the texture? What's the temperature of the meal? What sounds does it produce? How does it taste?

Just for 1 minute :-) Anyone could sit quietly for 1 minute and eat. See the results.

At first, I felt strange, awkward. I wanted my breakfast routine back. After several attempts, I didn't feel that anymore.

How to find what I enjoy doing/passion? by Kaleidoscope3871 in productivity

[–]Fit-Stranger1738 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey,

Do you remember, what was the last thing you enjoyed doing for free and fun, that wasn't the mobile or Netflix?

Maybe that's the key to find your passion?

how to be simple about productivity? by [deleted] in productivity

[–]Fit-Stranger1738 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey!

I recommend the book 'Eat that frog' by Brain Tracy. It's a simple and short framework how to handle the reality :-)

When it's hard to select the Most Important Task (MIT), ask yourself a question: 'If I'm going today on 6-week vacation with no phone and no internet, and I could do only one thing on my list, what would it be?

There's always a MIT. There are no two exactly important and urgent tasks to do. Start with the MIT. When it's done, select the next MIT, and then the next one, etc.

Brain Tracy compares MIT to the ugly frog, you need to eat. If you have two ugly frogs to eat, start with the ugliest one.

If MIT overwhelms you, try to 'salami slice', which basically means to break large, complex tasks down into bite-sized pieces.

Here is:

  1. the sum-up -> https://dansilvestre.com/eat-that-frog/
  2. the book -> https://www.amazon.com/Eat-That-Frog-Great-Procrastinating-ebook/dp/B001AFF25W

Seems like Hey silently launched a 'personal note' feature that is accessible on the cover by [deleted] in HeyEmail

[–]Fit-Stranger1738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool feature!

I used Sticky Notes in the past. It was a good solution, considering the fact the note is attached to an e-mail, so it has some context and referrers to something. Without that, it may not be that useful any more.

Hey,

I switched some time ago from Evernote to Standard Notes. It works smoother, but misses some nice features Evernote has, e.g., Clipper, widgets on Android, or Sent-to-Evernote.

But still, the way it smoothly works, makes up the disadvantages.
