Launching a Chrome extension can be challenging, especially when it comes to getting initial traction. One key issue is that the Chrome Web Store is a crowded marketplace, making it hard for new extensions to stand out. To improve visibility, consider optimizing your extension's listing with relevant keywords, a clear description, and high-quality screenshots. Additionally, leveraging social media, forums, and online communities related to your extension's niche can help spread the word.

I struggled to stay consistent with my daily replies on , especially on the days when I was coding a lot.

I wanted to find a way to trick my mind and have an immediate visual feedback while doing this sometimes annoying and non-rewarding task.

So I built this chrome extension to see whether it could help me be more active. I have been on a 16 days streak and the sound triggered on every reply makes it a bit less annoying.

Most of the people I see on are on premium already and they probably wonder why should I buy this:

live counter on main page without having to go to analytics and refresh for updates

gratifying and rewarding sound on every reply

what do you builders think?
