We've been doing this manually for some time now. Will have to give this a look.

Nice work. Maybe it could be integrated into a more mature product such as: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20817101

This is awesome, definitely a ton of use cases for this. It would be interesting if you put some background into why you made this project in your README. Some inspiration always helps.

Also some examples of where else you've seen it applied could spark peoples imagination to help people get some more usage out of your work.

While the example here is definitely trivial, it would be nice to see some more documentation. Particularly around project structure, internals, and thought process.

Seeing e2e projects is definitely a huge plus, but without relevant commentary I don't see how it is consumable enough to help a large enough mass.

The age old question. I have a sneaky suspicion that most of the world runs on the "ask for forgiveness" model of things.

I think it's a careful balance between contributing for the greater good and hoping it compensates you later on (whether that be fame or fortune).

IMO, the perfect storm is to create a software that solves the layperson's problems just fine (enticing adoption). And then has a proprietary section that makes more sense for those who have the money (re: @beneologist).

Always interesting to see examples of web extensions on HN. Given that these new tab extensions are a dime a dozen, I recommend adding some sort of differentiating feature to yours to make it stand out a bit.

One that I love: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/githunt/khpcnaokfe...

Seems like policies around data and privacy would be paramount here. As someone who has developed a couple backends I always struggle to see the value add of a system like this. For me, it always seems like this is something I'll have to do later and back tracking would be more work. Very clean site though, the mint technology piece was pretty interesting as well. Good synergy to market both at once!

I found it a little hard to understand the differentiators. I think in a space like this, where there are already a host of established players, you should have the differentiating feature up front and easily consumable. I'd love to hear more about what other CRMs were missing (in a particular use case) and then hear what you did to fix it.

OP here. I created issueist to solve a constant problem of opening Github, navigating to a certain repo, and posting thoughts. I find myself reading tech articles all the time and having moments where I think "this project can use this design pattern/testing method/OSS" etc. and use my Github repos as storage for new project ideas, tasks, etc. Hope you all enjoy it and use it daily like I do. You can find the repo on the site, hoping to have other contributors to the code base in the future :)
