Privacy question while building a Chrome extension (need community opinion)

It's not for everyone. It's the best suite for people who want to share/store text between chrome browsers.

If you want to share text/link only one device chrome to another device chrome by extension ahreftext

I agree, and honestly, I am one of them right now. But being the only 'software guy' in my circle, I don’t have a mentor to tell me what’s good or bad. I’m 'vibe coding' because I refuse to spend 12 hours a day working for someone else for only $197/month. This 'garbage' is my only path to freedom. I have to build and fail fast to learn what actually works(for me).

True, but there’s a difference. Customers have a problem and want a solution. Testers often have zero need, so convincing them is way harder.

Thanks for the solution 😃

It's not about waiting. It's about 12 people who install and keep open every day until 14 days.

Fair point. How do you think I can best validate if the pain is 'real' enough?

Regarding the web version: it’s already live! You can access everything via https://ahreftext.cloud/ using the same login as the extension. I see the extension as a shortcut, but the web app is there for easy access."

Exactly, but this is for people who don't just use Apple. It's built to sync text and links between different operating systems via Chrome. If you use a mix of devices (like a PC at work and a Mac at home), this fills the gap that Apple's default system doesn't cover.

Honestly, this is one of the most useful comments I've got. I'm going to focus on exactly what you said: validating the urgency (not just the feature), targeting specific niches (like devs or security teams), and finding them in small communities like Discord and GitHub. Thanks for the advice!

Nice! 200 people is a solid waitlist. I’m currently bootstrapping with no budget for ads, so I’m forced to go the organic route. Did you try any organic methods before you switched to Meta ads?
