Hit 500+ installs in a week from being featured on Product Hunt for my Chrome Extension. People blog / talk about the Product Hunt effect and I can see it in person based on the Chrome Developer Dashboard.
It feels amazing. I feel empowered as a #indiehacker / maker.
P.S: Shakira's - Waka Waka playing in the background with slightly modified lyrics (This Time for #indiehacker)
If launching on ProductHunt wasn't exciting enough - it also hit the front page. This one is for the archives to keep. Look forward for more milestones.
Interesting to see how a small hack has takers. Amazed by the ProductHunt community to also share feedback.
Stopped procrastinating and took the plunge to launch it on ProductHunt - https://www.producthunt.com/posts/block-website-notification-requests
With the growth browsers supporting notifications - almost every other website is trying to leverage it to grab the attention of users. I found it extremely annoying.
The setting to switch this off is buried in Chrome settings which I thought was tricky for users to find and disable. Hence, I published this one-click install extension to block all request notifications on the Chrome Store.
Finally - No more annoying website notification requests!

It took 6 hours, but I'm finally done building the minimum viable product for Block Website Notification Requests. I worked overnight and published it to the Chrome Store.

Wow, that was fast, man!
You already had users before your launch?
I just launched and I am struggling with traffic, didn't worried about this till now, silly me :P
But great work man! Congratulations
Had around ~32 users before launching on PH. Upvoted you on PH - all the best!
