First, THANK YOU!
Second, yeah... some of the tone seems to be harsh but at the same time the comments do have some valid criticisms in them. Some people DO prefer scripts and hand-coded approaches... but like You & I, some people don't. So, I take it with a grain of salt. (I now appreciate that phrase a little more).
Another demographic I kept in mind aside from coders... is people like my former roommate. She doesn't even know what javascript is and would want a way to just simply check if tickets for her favorite festival finally went on sale (ie. Coachella sold out in 5 minutes this year and she spent a lot of refreshing trying to check on it) so that's also a demographic I was aiming to help.
With all that said... It's not like I'm releasing a product I spent hundreds of hours or hundreds of dollars on, so I'm not entirely crushed if nobody finds it useful. At the same time, it's nice to see somebody else DOES find it useful so I really appreciate the positive feedback.
I hope it gets a few bookmarks and helps some people out. I know my old roommate already has it bookmarked. =)
- rooshdi 14y agoMost people don't even know what a browser is, let alone how to use plug-ins, so this approach should be better for 99% of people. Great job and great regular solution to a regular problem.
- justindocanto 14y agoThat's true. I said 'browser' to a client on the phone the other day and they asked me what that was. I then had to correct myself and say "Internet Explorer". ;) Jokes aside... Thank you!
- ruswick 14y agoI'm guessing that people who don't know what a browser is don't have a need for such an esoteric tool that enables time-sensitive action.
