Welcome to the four new people joining this week! Feel free to reply to this email and let me know how can I make this newsletter more useful for you.
Before we jump into Ideas, I want to feature Henry Lim who found an idea on Twitter and turned it into an extension in less than 5 hours.
Idea #1
A chrome extension that makes sounds according to activity happening on the website

Idea #2

You can add another feature where the extension helps you find the existing file in your downloads.
