I like the gamification aspect of the tool. It makes using it fun and encourages me to keep going.

I had an extension for every tool and website I use except PH. Really glad this finally arrived! Congrats on the launch!

I've used the old extension for years and this update killed it for me.. sorry for the harsh words guys, but it was a perfect tool that I've used daily and was completely happy with until this new release

Hey @eugene_kondratyev - sorry to hear you're not a fan of the update. Anything specifically you're missing from the old version we can consider adding as an improvement?
Eugene
@jamie_sprowl thanks for reaching out, well a lot of things don't fit well with me. 1) The aside bar with clock and day streak is meh.. used to check the current time in different place, so not quite useful info that takes a lot of space for me 1.1) and it also comes with a scrollbar even though it's inactive because there's no content to scroll (looks awful in dark mode) 2) Grid view with two columns is so much harder to quickly evaluate rather then three column one. But this is the most important use case for me considering I am opening a new tab for something else in the beginning 3) List view is better 4) the small circle profile pictures actually add 0 value and distract attention since they're hard to recognize. 5) All in all to me it looks like you've added a lot of design elements that distract attention from what's important and it became so much more harder and distractive to take a quick glance on what's happening. I understand that it's a first update in years, but hope my and other users feedback will be useful for your improvements or at least customization options backlog

@eugene_kondratyev appreciate the thoughtful response! Yes, as always we will take user feedback into consideration for future improvements. :) I believe the scrollbar you are seeing is a bug, so we will get that one sorted soon.

The most visited section on the left needs to go. Or at least it needs a setting to display it or not. I am also with some of the other comments about the need to see a 3 column layout.

@steveparrynz cool idea for making the most visited section customizable/collapsible. Will think about this more!

I've already discovered some great new products through using this tool. It's a great way to stay ahead of the curve.

🧐 Good find
I've been using this extension exclusively for new tab for years. And it was very useful. Basically, every day I was checking to see new products and I was using the small arrow in the top right corner to go directly to the product site. Now this possibility is gone and I can only access the producthunt page of the product. I do understand the reasoning behind removing the direct links - directing more traffic to producthunt - but I now lack a functionality that was very efficient and I will probably not use it that much anymore. Just being forced to open producthunt to access product page kinda sucks.

@webmyc hey Mihai - appreciate that you left us some helpful feedback. I wanted to let you know we just implemented a change that allows you to go directly to products since we missed that on our original release. Hope it's helpful. :)

@jamie_sprowl great news! thank you!

Why did you fire your designer? The new design is horrible.. There is no search bar.. The interface lags so much.. I will uninstall it, and I hope you will go back or push a new version as quickly as possible...

@thomas_l1 I'd recommend using the search experience on producthunt.com rather than through the extension. Our goal with the extension was to surface new products, discussions, and trends for easy discovery, but not replicate the entire Product Hunt experience there.
