A couple of days ago I tweeted that I would like a Chrome extension that would let me know whether or not a site had been hunted or not. @BlendahTom replied to my tweet "that it would be ready by Tuesday". I thought he was joking, but he wasn't! I love this tool. Thanks Tom.
@erictwillis Thanks Eric!
I can't tell you how many times I have been out hunting only to find out later that the site I was on had already been submitted.
Big thanks go out to @andreasklinger & @rrhoover for making the improvements necessary to the Product Hunt api for this to work :)
Installed I really like this. Often I find a product that was hunted months ago that I missed, and the conversation has long died out, but I still would be totally down to gab about it. It'd be cool if this helped refresh the discussion on PH for "aged" hunts.
Btw: when you install on Chrome there's a typo in the prompt. Your'e instead of you're.
Also, if there were a way to block notifications when we're coming from PH that'd be cool!
@stttories Maybe what we can do is only show you the alert one time and not every time you visit said site. I would be worried that peeps visiting from PH would think the extension didn't work.
@BlendahTom eg you go to a techcrunch article about www.ubertinder.com and you will see that there is a discussion about this product happening on producthunt
Hey @BlendahTom,
Not sure how you're using the copy functionality in the extension but it started copying every URL that I visited to the clipboard, which made Jumpcut unusable. Screenshot: http://d.pr/i/144nF
@AsadDhamani Looks like someone hunted Youtube at some point.. maybe having a feature where it remembers if you have visited the site before so you don't get the popup all the time?
@BlendahTom That would work. It might cause problems on certain domains though, like sublimetext.com vs sublimetext.com/3. Maybe a way to blacklist certain urls could be added.
New update loaded to the Chrome store.
Copy function fixed
Full screen notification fix
One time notification fix (not everytime you visit a site)

@BlendahTom I'm liking your product! The only thing that bothers me is that everytime I open a YouTube video, I get the 'hunted' notification which links to http://www.producthunt.com/posts... Can you look into that?
Yup it all started here.
