I use it instead of Loom. It’s a multitool that does almost everything I could wish for regarding screenshots and screen recordings, at a very affordable price.

OK, I love the idea but it seems it doesn’t work with European format prices. E.g. on Amazon.de, a product costs 42,87 €. That should be rounded to 42,90 but it’s instead “rounded up” to 4.290,00 € ! I suppose this is because the extension is look for a “.” thousands separator, but in Europe we use “,” instead. E.g. ten thousand euro = 10.000,00 € (not 10,000.00 €) EDIT: It's all of Amazon.de — not a specific page. Tried on Arc browser.
I love Tamagotchis! I'm also excited about the prospect of AR games that work well, so this seems GREAT! Downloaded right away. The AR is a bit glitchy. Like, the Peridot “sits” in the air, or it thinks it’s behind something when it’s right in front of me. The ball in fetch goes through walls… And so on. But I like the spirit! You know, I was crazy excited about Pokemon Go when it first launched—it even got me to go outside! But then Niantic banned rooted devices and I could no longer use it :) Even though you didn’t need root access to cheat, all rooted phones were banned to keep the game “fair” :) I’m still very sour about that, so we’ll see if this is worth it.

Very cool and useful concept, but… I made an account because of the “Secure collaboration, no signup required” promo text. Turns out, people you share a bubble with need to make an account to comment. Even worse, that is only revealed AFTER they have gone through the trouble of recording a video response (i.e. when you click “Send”), not before (e.g. “sign up to send your response”).

It sometimes get things hilariously wrong, but it's OK because it makes it easy to check the sources yourself. Perplexity finally makes searching for specific information on the web a fast experience and replaces all the manual digging around.
