Comment on Show HN: I made an open source Chrome extension to notify you of new HN replies

I'm sorry but I won't install your extension. It's not you. It's that it's almost as if you're installing a kernel extension.

As a side note.. Why not post your actual company, engagespot? From what I can read is that Anandu is actually "making" this thing. Just seems very disingenuous in an attempt to do some sort of underdog or gorilla marketing.

Nevertheless, releasing something is always a good achievement, so congrats!

Thanks for the feedback.

Btw, this extension doesn't use any private information such as cookies or email. It just uses the public HN username to track replies posted on your threads.

Engagespot is an API that I'm building and I just used it to build this free extension for the HN community :)
