Idea #1

A chrome extension that shows the view to like ratio on YouTube.

ThirtyVirus @ThirtyVirus

Someone should make a YouTube view:like ratio visualizer Chrome extension. It could compare ratios against the whole channel, other similar videos or channels, the whole genre. This would be the closest thing we will have to a like:dislike ratio once they remove API access.

YouTube removed the dislike button back in November. So developers used the API and created a chrome extension that showed the dislikes.

But now, Youtube has removed dislikes from their API now so this idea could serve as a good alternative.

Idea #2

A chrome extension that notifies you of all new messages in Google chat.

Sergi Isasi @sgisasi

This is probably an evergreen tweet but does anyone actually want the top option as the default for when you join or are added to a room in Google Chat? Seems impossible, right?
