It is also unnecessary. While I understand the convenience, there are plenty of better solutions to use over Google, especially for a software company.
- gnicholas 8y agoI’m curious to know how a company like mine [1] might offer the same value to users while avoiding google. When we first launched (on HN, I should note), we checked the browsers that people used to come to our site. It was roughly 90/10 Chrome/Firefox. That’s why we built our first extension for Chrome (and later built for Firefox also). Don’t we have to meet our users where they are? Would love to hear your ideas! 1: http://www.BeeLineReader.com/individual http://www.BeeLineReader.com/individual
- cptskippy 8y ago> http://www.BeeLineReader.com/individual http://www.BeeLineReader.com/individual Completely off topic but do you receive feedback from some users that your color gradients actually make it harder to read? I was struggling to read your landing page, my eyes kept were involuntarily flitting all over the page. My eyes kept jumping around scanning like they would at a traffic intersection or a pool (I was a lifeguard) for activity. It was kind of weird and stressful.
