Random person sitting next to me has my extension installed 🥹

[Theis Frøhlich @theisof]

No feature update is too small... apparently.

Three years ago I quit my job inspired by people on this platform. What a rollercoaster it’s been. No regrets.

[Theis Frøhlich @theisof]

Tried a lot these this is definitely the best so far

@testingcatalog Is this web or the app?

[Theis Frøhlich @theisof]

@reach_vb I’m curious to see the pricing. Hume Evi does something similar and is priced at $6 per hour 🫣

[Theis Frøhlich @theisof]

@sairahul1 @MrNick_Buzz Me too, looks effective 😂

@tdinh_me I have an entire copy of my nextjs app doing nothing but redirecting to www. Couldn’t get Namecheap redirects working either.

@sobedominik Be careful about permissions!

I made a big mistake 🫠

In my rush to update Voice Control for ChatGPT for the latest ChatGPT release, I included some experimental features. One of these required the "tabs" permission, which I assumed was no big deal.

Unfortunately, I was mistaken.

Turns out, the permission was unnecessary and it also allowed access to users' browsing history. This triggered alerts for all users, prompting them to either accept the change or disable the extension. I corrected this immediately, but due to the Chrome Store’s review process, there was a 24 hour delay in the fix being live.

This resulted in a loss of about 5-10% of the users, which is significant given the 500,000-strong user base. Gratefully, it wasn't more.

For fellow Chrome Extension developers: a word of advice, always review the "Permissions warnings list" in the extension docs before tweaking your permissions.

To the affected users, I apologize for the inconvenience. Rest assured, your browsing history has always been and will remain private. 🙏

@itsandrewgao @XDevelopers Do you know if the presentations are open to outside spectators?

[Theis Frøhlich @theisof]

Experimenting with Claude's Haiku model. It's surprisingly good considering its low price.
