Journalists don’t really grasp that nuance. ‘Lower Valuation for Popular Company’ is always a good way to get eyeballs.

I've been using Mode Analytics for almost 5 years, and use Metabase or Redash for self hosted solution.

Re:Show HN: Chrome Extension to See IMDB Ratings Directly on Netflix
on Tuesday February 19, 2019 @06:30PM (#19204070)
I've been using RateFlix for a while now - haven't seen many issues as of yet. I love these type of ideas. When you add Rotten Tomatoes, I'm totally in to use!
1. Movies and TV shows will show an IMDb™ rating next to wherever you would typically see a Netflix™ rating, and additionally will be shown on the play bar of what you're currently watching as well as next to each listed episode when browsing episodes of a TV series
2. Rotten Tomatoes™ and Metacritic™ ratings will also be displayed in the same way, but currently only for movies
3. Clicking on an IMDb™ rating will open the IMDb™ page for that movie or TV show in a new tab
For Chrome only https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/rateflix/dddmgiige...

Ditto. Tab issue in prod release, Not nightly. I love the app but it’s made me look for diff options. I close tabs all day, it’s a big bug in my head that should’ve forced an update. Otherwise monster fan.

Everything is running just fine in this thread, I don't see the tone you're expressing. There's always some level of interest to someone - sharing is caring.

It's a seed investment, they really don't need to offer a valuation at this time, especially to the public.

I'll have to disagree with you on this when you say "useless". Most sites don't post a salary, and for those few that do, a range is listed.
I like using https://angel.co/jobs to find those companies that have raised $ and currently hiring. One thing about is that I'm not really sure how frequently these startups have the time to update this on Angellist.
