GREG ISENBERG @gregisenberg

The billion dollar Google Chrome extension club: - Loom - Honey - Grammarly These companies started as Chrome Extensions and created billions of value Here's why it works:

I know most of you came from seeing my comment on that thread but still, it’s worth another look :)

Let’s dive into the first idea:

A chrome extension that auto-scrapes all links, images, and quotes available on the page.

Tyler is also building this so you can also follow his updates.

Let’s move onto the second idea:

A chrome extension that helps you save and re-use GIFs on twitter.

Deemo🦀🐅 @childshgamdeemo

can twitter make it so we can save gifs please, i don't wanna use a whole different site just to save em😩

Similar Solutions:

With this one, focus on helping them re-use the GIF. They don’t want to save GIFs, They want to re-use them when they want. That’s the outcome they are looking for.

And the last idea of this issue:

A Chrome Extension that automatically ticks the coupon field on Amazon.

Tanay Jaipuria @tanayj

Surprised that Amazon coupons aren't enabled by default on items that have one. Wonder how often users forget to clip the coupon

It’s important to understand the psychology of the buyer for this one.

Rishi has covered it beautifully here: https://www.frictionless-commerce.com/blog/strange-amazon-coupon-code-functionality/

Similar Solutions: I couldn’t find any similar solutions that help you auto-tick Amazon coupons.

I’m not sure if this is true but Matt mentioned that sellers are charged when coupons are redeemed, so they're always going to be disabled by default.

And before we wrap it up, I want to show you someone who turned a tweet into a Chrome Extension.

A special thanks to @mostlynotworking for this tweet, which inspired me to build this extension :)

If you can see how many impressions a tweet has can you see how many tweets you've scrolled by?

He is also a subscriber. Do show some love to Scroll Portal. I’m using it to track the number of tweets I scroll through to prepare this issue for you and my current score is 2527.
