It's really cool 🀩 Would be even better if we can hide random & today's products from settings. I think "what are you working on?" is the main use case for most people πŸ™Œ

@alollou Very true. Having "focus mode" along with the rabbit hole that Product Hunt can become would be self-defeating

@alollou appreciate that idea, Ali! We're debating how many options we want to provide people as each new setting can add complexity and fragment the user experience. But I understand your point! ...I might write a blog post on this someday. πŸ€”

@alollou @rrhoover Even better, provide settings to toggle each of those features, so that we only enable what we find useful

Where is the old one with all the products? Why would you break something that worked?

Pros:

nothing

Cons:

everything

I am curious to know why it would need to access my browsing history?

@iamtekeste unfortunately this is a limitation in Chrome/Firefox. To replace one's new tab, the browser requires we ask for those permissions.
Guillaume Bardet
@rrhoover Hi Ryan, seems like an interesting extension! Congrats to everyone who worked on it. From some experience with Chrome/Firefox you should be able to get this permission removed :) It used to ask for this for Qlearly.

@guillaumebardet appreciate the tip. We'll investigate! cc @thomgroutars

@thomgroutars @rrhoover You're welcome, quite a few would bring it up so we looked into it. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions, Thomas. :)

@rrhoover @guillaumebardet Thanks for the tip, we'll look into it!

Would be fine if it wasn't trying to serve two masters. All I want is to be able to see screenies of new products. It pains me deeply that this replaced the tab I loved for years.

@jesse_wallace @rossdcurrie Ditto. Really bummed.

I like the concept but I must say I miss the grid layout with screenshots in the previous iteration of the extension. That was by far my most used extension. Also I had been reporting bugs etc on the old version for ages that were never addressed...
Ross Currie
@golear Same. I've been hoping for a while that they'd update it, but not to this. I didn't ask for this :(

Great idea, next stage of our internet is all about togetherness, glad that product hunt is listening to the echo of this need
Anthony Da Mota
And of course it works nicely with the Brave browser :)

I dig this. Excited at the speed boost and the ability to share what I'm working on.

Pros:

I like the collaborative aspect, but my favorite part is that it loads so much faster than the old PH new tab page!

Cons:

Images for the products are smaller - makes it more difficult to make first impressions

Waseem AlShikh

Listen to your users and move to the old layout ASAP

Pros:

nothing

Cons:

I want old layout.

Antonio Viggiano

I prefer the previous version

Pros:

Cool looks

Cons:

- I miss the img preview of the featured products - Having a single column instead of 3 columns is more time consuming to see all products

Thanks for the input, Antonio. πŸ™πŸΌ This feedback has come up from others. Change is always tricky and the lack of product density was certainly one of the risks in this update. We're doing roadmap planning early next week so please standby for updates! 😊
