Welcome to the 5 new people joining this week! Feel free to reply to this email and let me know how can I make this more useful for you.

Let’s dive into the first idea:

A Chrome Extension that revamps Roblox Home Page.

revamped roblox home page #roblox #robloxdev #robloxui

Update: DevTopia turned this idea into an extension by building RoPlus.

Roblox is an online game platform and game creation system developed by Roblox Corporation. It allows users to program games and play games created by other users.

Roblox demand has jumped since 2019 and still growing. Gaming, in general, is trending upwards so this could be a good “foot in the door” product.

Similar Solutions: I couldn’t find a similar existing solution that helps you revamp the Roblox page.

And the person who designed the UI is ready to work with someone to turn it into an extension.

Let’s move on to the second idea:

A Chrome Extension that converts Topshot Pricing from USD to ETH and makes it look cheap.

Looking at rare topshot moments in ETH pricing makes them seem so cheap lol

NBA Top Shot is a blockchain-based platform that allows fans to buy, sell, and trade numbered versions of specific, officially licensed video highlights.

If you are not familiar with the Top Shot terminology like moments then this will help you.

Top Shot Believers Bot

If you are looking to explore NFT space then this could be a good project to start with.

Update: And while you’re at it, why stop at Topshot?

Does anyone want this browser extension

And the last idea of this issue:

A Chrome Extension that shows you that you have already searched for and visited this page multiple times and shows your notes next to the page link in search results.

Googling is a process antipattern. If you're regularly googling the same things, save the answers to a file. You can look things up much faster that way, plus you can write notes and group similar info and stuff. (Sounds trite, but I don't know anybody who does this)

This is a controversial idea. Some people feel that Googling is easier than taking notes and remembering keywords but OP has tried to defend the idea by using this example:

Hillel @hillelogram

Since people are asking "how can searching a file be faster than googling", here's a quick Googling problem: What's the cheapest rate for an on-demand EC2 instance with 2 8gb GPUs?

Similar Solutions:

If you want to tap into the productivity market or want to take a super-niched project then this idea is for you.

And that’s a wrap. This took me more than 14 hours to research and filter.

I would really appreciate it if you forward this to someone who would find it helpful.

Thank you.
