  • Detect when your installed Chrome extensions have changed owners
    8 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 6 Mar 2024
    A few months ago I made a free open source extension to speedup youtube ads that I shared here & hit the front page. Within a week a guy (who commented on my show hn thread) copied it and promoted his version on reddit which went viral and has 300k+ Users [1]

    But why copy a free open source extension instead of just contributing? Well... a few weeks later he was trying to sell it on multiple sites for 5 figures. Maybe they still own it but I couldn't help but notice that the registered developer for his extension on the chrome store has also changed since it was originally published.

  • Ask HN: How do you protect your open-source side projects from copycats?

    > They "probably" had your idea in the back of their mind for 10 days, and didn't remember that?

    That was just a cheeky response they gave me after I reached out on Sunday (8 days after my post).

    > Document their timeline, versus the timeline you made and continue to make your updates.

    They first posted theirs 4 days after my Show HN which went viral on r/webdev. I assumed they had just come to it on their own and I didn't realize they had seen & commented on my work until Sunday (8 days after the Show HN).

    I mention this in the referenced post https://github.com/rkk3/ad-accelerator/blob/main/lessons_pos...

    >Is there a feature you could add? Like muting the sped up ads?

    Muting the ads was in the original. But in terms of another feature another member of the community contributed a PR that adds support for Hulu.
