My Chrome extension, Better History, recently hit 1.0

Hey there. Chrome is a great browser, but browsing your history sure stinks and the history extensions available feel poorly designed. My extension is called Better History. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/obciceimmggglbmelaidpjlmodcebijb I've tackled a few important milestones that take Better History miles above the other history options. Core features... * Organizing history into digestible time intervals * Grouping visits from the same domain * Enhancing day filters * Using Preferences UI * Deleting beyond removing single visits * Evolving the time interval interface * Making…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hey there. Chrome is a great browser, but browsing your history sure stinks and the history extensions available feel poorly designed. My extension is called Better History. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/obciceimmggglbmelaidpjlmodcebijb I've tackled a few important milestones that take Better History miles above the other history options. Core features... * Organizing history into digestible time intervals * Grouping visits from the same domain * Enhancing day filters * Using Preferences UI * Deleting beyond removing single visits * Evolving the time interval interface * Making search actually work I think the last point is the most important. Searching your history in Chrome is completely broken if you ask me. I put lots of energy into fixing that and you can read about it here: http://automagical.posterous.com/making-chromes-history-searching-better Fun Facts. It took about 85 days to hit 500 users. It took 1 day to up that number to 1,840 users. The next day it doubled to 3,763 users. Pretty exciting! The jump in users was due to the Chrome Store redesign and the promotions that I prepared. Check them out here: http://automagical.posterous.com/three-promotions-for-better-history Any feedback you have about Better History would be awesome.

    I've been working on and off on a Chrome Extension for Hacker News, the extension focusses on improved usability rather than design. I can almost guarantee that after a day you won't want to go back to regular Hacker News. Give it a try, features include: - Improved readability - Quick inline replies from comments page - Quick profiles with social network info when hovering over usernames - Filtering of stories based on terms and phrases / domain or user - Endless scrolling - Collapsible comment threads - Social sharing for Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Buffer Forks, improvements and comments…

    A search engine for your browsing history2011 · ▲6

    Fed up with not being able to find pages that I knew I had visited in the past I wrote a Chrome extension that automatically indexes the url, title & content of every page you visit - allowing you to search your entire browsing history. Why is this useful? Imagine you know that last week you read a news article by author "X" but you can't remember where, or how you got to it; by searching your recawl history for "X" you can easily find the page you were looking for. http://www.recawl.com

    Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…
