  Nice, it detected spotify and dropbox for me. Didn't recognize twitter or gmail.
  • 0xferruccio 8y ago
    Yeah unfortunately I can’t detect twitter anymore.. I have to come up with something new to detect logged in users for it

  Very nice, it got everything right in Chrome. But a little confused in Brave (said I had Reddit account). But very cool app.

    Thanks for letting me know about the reddit bug! will download Brave to see if I can fix it

  I recommend adding a slide on how you are doing this for educating those of us who do not know. From a high level, I assume the logins are detected via cookies. Edit: interesting! Its by checking if favicon images would be loaded. Edit 2: Found this old thread by hoppinh through webkay https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11415462 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11415462
