(dev here)
Something I've done different for this extension that I haven't done in the past:
- had an email waitlist that got some interest for months leading up to the actual release
- engaged with potential users in community channels (reddit/discord(s)/etc) to get early feedback and keep them in the loop
- have buttons in the profile dropdown menu within the extension for "Provide feedback" and "Leave a review"
All of these have made a big different, in general, to the overall process. I started doing this months before the extension was published.
Happy to answer any questions.
