Thanks. That's a good point. I'll have to add something

Hey,
Yes, that's the list we used and most definitions are from wikipedia. Some wikipedia entrances weren't too clear so she looked for other reputable sources instead.
Granted, this isn't ground breaking research, but rather curation. I'd say her effort still counts. Also, we are very open about not being experts, but just very interested in the subject. I think it would be unfair if we'd start to push uninformed opinions.
I'd love to hear your thoughts if you disagree.

Hey,
That's intentional. My wife and I worked on this together over a couple of weekends hence the use of I/we. We built this so that we can work on a little project together and not for recognition. We're pretty private and we'd be quite happy if no one knew our names but I'm sure that with a few google searches, you'd be able to find out who we are.
Since we don't collect any data apart from page views/loads, we think that's fair but I'd love to hear your thoughts if you disagree.
Thanks

I'm working on this and I hope it'll be ready within a week or so. I thought it's a 10 minutes job as someone else here said, but I must be much slower than that and I'm still trying to get my head around it. The Extension Compatibility Test for Firefox page seems to freeze when I test my .crx file.
Drop me an email on the Contact page (https://mycognitivebias.com/get-in-touch/) and I'll let you know when it's ready.
Thanks

No worries. I didn't think you were denigrating our work. If it helps at all, we've had 141k page views since Monday. Granted, that's just how many tabs all the users opened so I can't really tell how many people actually read the definitions.
I'll have to see if there's a way track the link clicks on the Source links and measure that.

Touché. I've had a few messages asking for Firefox and Safari versions and we'll work on them as soon as we can.

My assumption is that people will use this one for a bit and then install something else. There are just about 200 of them so it shouldn't be long until one sees all of them. However, if one learns about 2 or 3 biases they were not aware of, I'll be happy. The primary goal behind this was to work with my wife on it and we had a great time. The reaction we had from everyone was just amazing and we'll look into building more fun things like this.

Very interesting. I wasn't aware of this. Thanks for sharing.

hi voidhorse,
Thanks for the feedback and kind words. I'm absolutely considering doing "random x definition". I'll have to think of other subjects that I'm interested in but in the meantime, I'm happy for you to make some suggestions :)
