Apologies for missing out on last week’s issue.

I was busy with some personal engagements and couldn’t work on the issue.

This is the first issue I have missed out on since starting this newsletter and I will exit/sell/shut down the newsletter if I will miss another issue.

Once again, I am sorry.

This is a great example of riding a trend and getting great press coverage.

Elon Musk announced an $8 verification badge a few weeks ago and everyone was getting verified now.

It was hard to differentiate between real and parody accounts so Will and Walter created a chrome extension that shows if the profile is actually verified or if they paid for the verification.

And they ended up being featured on the Verge, 9to5Google, Insider, and many other platforms.

Idea #1

A chrome extension that de-optimizes any images you tweet

David Buchanan @David3141593

@SoatokDhole browser extension that de-optimises any images you post, so that they consume the maximum allowable amount of bandwidth (bonus: if all images are inflated with junk data, you have a plausibly deniable steganography channel)

The idea here is to maximize Twitter's operating costs while minimizing its ad revenue.

You will be marketing this one to people who don’t like Elon Musk and recent Twitter changes.

Idea #2

A Chrome extension that blocks all vegan food on uber eats

Tomasz Wegrzanowski @t_a_w

I need to write Chrome extension that adblocks all vegan food on ubereats.

If you build this, don’t just block vegan food.

Give them options to block veg and non-veg food too.

We are featuring an idea for Google docs in the paid section that I will be working on personally.

This is a well-researched idea and I have shared workarounds being used, the marketing plan, and the single competitor that exists.

If you were waiting to use your trial or subscribe to the paid version, today is the day.
