Do you feel anxious about losing your Product Hunt daily streak 😰? Does switching between light and dark mode windows hurt your eyes? Good news, the Unofficial Product Hunt Plugin will keep your blood pressure down and help reduce eye strains 😎.
@jgani, Big congrats on launching this great plugin! Loving the dark mode feature. Quick thought on the streak reminder—have you considered interactions beyond just visiting PH might be necessary to keep a streak alive? Some of us with long streaks learned the hard way. Excited to see how this evolves!
@abdalyousef Thanks so much Abdal.
I saw a write up explaining that a full page refresh is required in order for PH to count as a visit, so the Chrome plugin was coded to reflect this.
What has been your experience?
@jgani, that’s interesting about the full page refresh—I wasn’t aware of that detail. From what I’ve observed, and especially from discussions with the CMO of Jaeves, @hussam_gpt, who is an avid PH user, simply visiting the site, even with a full page refresh, hasn't always been enough to maintain a streak. Our CMO, a long-time PH streaker, has experienced streak losses despite daily visits. It seems that active engagement, like upvoting or commenting, plays a crucial role in streak continuation. It might be worth exploring how the plugin could encourage or track such interactions to help users keep their streaks alive. Appreciate your efforts to make our PH experience even better!
@hussam_gpt@abdalyousef That's going to be the next release! Working on adding a growth chart and consistency graph to encourage engagement.

Hey there! This is awesome!
Absolutely loving the idea of a Chrome plugin that enhances the Product Hunt experience, especially the features you've mentioned for streak reminders and dark mode.
By the way, is this information you're using to identify inactive users and send reminders pulled through the Product Hunt API? If so, that's really clever! Just curious about the security aspects of using an API for such purposes.
I'm also intrigued by your plans to tackle spam and bots in the next release. The focus on organic growth through features like LinkedIn/X connections and analytics is a great approach. The DM functionality sounds interesting, but I understand the hesitation regarding potential spam abuse.
Overall, this is a fantastic initiative for the Product Hunt community. I'd love to hear more about your development process and how you're ensuring things are secure. Keep up the fantastic work!
@abdullahkaludi Thanks for the support Abdullah.
No the Chrome extension doesn't use Product Hunt's API.
It just reacts to your browsing on Product Hunt, by sending a ping to the server, at most once a day.
The server is then configured to send a reminder email near the end of the day if it hasn't seen that ping.
