Got My First Real User

I've been reaching out to my network telling them about Trig. For the first few days I had a lot of my network say "cool I'll check it out!" and then either never check it out or create an account and do nothing with it. Finally yesterday I found someone who started using Trig. He said "Trig's tagging system is magical." He added quite a few pieces of content to Trig and it seemed he really saw the vision.

You can add websites to Trig through the app itself, but he was trying to add Tweets. Unfortunately Twitter has some rate limits that make it hard to scrape tweets correctly. That's one benefit of the Chrome extension that I made. Unfortunately he Firefox! My first feature request. Time to port my Chrome extension over to Firefox!

    Congrats! That's a good feeling. Hopefully you're not using too many Chrome-specific APIs, otherwise it shouldn't be too difficult to build the Firefox version. Good luck!

      Thanks, appreciate it! I think I am using a few, but hopefully I can figure it out quickly.
