  I've seen Speedrun before (surprised?), but I'm not a fan, sorry. I can elaborate on my original comment and show you how to do it the right way (check out my followup to the sibling comment), but I'll warn you: this is a hard thing to productize. It's like trying to come up with a way to turn the idea of putting page numbers at the bottom of pages (and getting everyone else to do it, too) into a product. Or trying to turn not performing surgery without washing your hands into a product. The successful execution of this idea also pretty much necessarily obviates what would otherwise even remotely resemble a source of service- or sales-related revenue. Consulting is basically the only viable way, but I haven't even bothered trying to do that.

    I am surprised. I've only posted it in a comment once before and have zero SEO. How did you stumble upon it? Is your "right way to do it" your article on how to displace js? FWIW I'm not trying to monetize the extension to GitHub markdown.

      I tried tracking that down before my last comment. It definitely wasn't the other comment. Not sure when you added the link to your HN profile, but it's likeliest that I chanced up on it after clicking through from an unrelated comment/submission in another thread—maybe this one (if the time window fits): <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33718850#33729686 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33718850#33729686>
