Launched my first ever Chrome Extension: Indie Hackers Bookmarker

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/indie-hackers-bookmarker/mghlljkdhienllkfknggockcpfppjpfh/

Hey guys!

I've just published a Chrome extension that I created called "Indie Hackers Bookmarker".

I have always wanted to have a "Bookmark/Save" button to every Indie Hackers post that I really find useful so that I can just click that button and read it later on. I don't really like using Chrome's bookmark feature because I really have a long bookmark list already and I don't like it when I still have to choose a folder when bookmarking a page so that it will be organized, somehow. I am a also Redditor and the "Save" button attached to each post is really helpful for me so I got my inspiration from Reddit and created a Chrome extension that would append a "Bookmark/Save" button to every Indie Hackers post.

Just sharing it here. Hope there are also others who share the same problem that I have. Hope you guys like it!

I am also looking for feedback. Thanks!

    I have wanted this myself. Thanks for building it. I have downloaded it, will let you know for any feedback.

    I have also build a chrome extension for Indiehackers, which greys out your read posts. This helps you quickly filter out content you have already read.

      Thanks! Any feedback is appreciated.

      Have also downloaded your chrome extension. This one looks something similar to Reddit when you've already opened a link. Looks good, man!

        Yup, Reddit is where I got the idea from. Though it still need to be polished and optimised, but thought of launching a MVP before putting any more efforts.

    Congrats! Can you add a way to notify customers if a post has updated since last time you looked at it? Just parse comment number from the page and let us know if it increased.

      That feature sounds great! I will try to add that and will let you know. Thanks, @sergey_shvets!
