Is this manually curated, or are you querying extension permissions from the app store?

I've got an extension that combines the collapsible threads with the ability to highlight new comments. However, I never did put it in the chrome extension directory. It's available here: http://hckrnews.com/about.html

I use wvl's extension (hckr news), and it's awesome, especially the "new comments highlighting" feature.

Manually curating now, I look at a list where new submissions arrive and click accept / deny after checking that the submission seems to work and isn't of lower quality than some submission from before. I think having several apps that do exactly the same thing isn't very beneficial.

I think having several apps that do the same thing is very beneficial. Competition from competitors is probably the biggest reason why apps improve.
