Ask HN: Make money on browser extension – possible?
Is there anybody out there making money on browser extensions? I wonder if any business models are based on that (most browser extensions are free / just an addition to the main product).

Same here - Zero to one - really inspiring book!
And Lean startup - far too ambitious for me at the moment, but I learned a lot from it.
4 hour work week - I would say it’s more like a fiction book, but still fun to read.
7 habits of highly effective people - it’s saved my life in high school, I knew some parts of it by heart.

Thanks! That's exactly my point! Browser extensions are rarely an independent business model, they are usually connected with some bigger project / platform and the extension is just an additional thing.

VPN and adblock are good examples of extensions that give real value to the user. When it comes to writing code for someone, I was more interested in the idea for a startup and its business model.

TLDR; dump local WP instance into static files and push them to cloudflare
So after every change in admin panel you have to dump WP into static and CF? Could be heavy when you change content often. Plus what about plugins or so?

I like the "You get rich by owning things", it was a I shock for me what could be an asset in case of some people I know - good profile on social media or popular blog

The point of school / university is to teach you how to think and program so it's different from commercial work (where you want to speed up things). So yes, I would force my students to write code by hand without any shortcuts, there will be time to use copilot or gpt ;)

For me the most interesting part is mood tracking, as many of the psychological methods are based on self-evaluation and here we have an opportunity to gather data real-time without user input.
Glad you came with oura ring as I though about this project as an oura ring for emotional state.

Thanks, it will start as an open source project, as people may be concern about privacy with such as delicate subject. And I do master studies at psychology so it will be research topic at least for me :)
