Ideas for Twitter, Mastodon, YouTube and Calendly.

Welcome to the 4 new people joining this week! Feel free to reply to this email and let me know how I can make this newsletter more useful.

Idea #1

A Chrome extension that posts Tweets to the Threads app

anybody know of a twitter tweet to threads chrome extension? essentially 
tweet, check a box, send to threads as well. WOULD LOVE THAT

Reddit users are also asking for this. This tool is great for people who want to handle social media easily and share things quickly on Twitter and Threads.

People like:

  1. Social media managers and marketers
  2. Content Creators and Influencers
  3. Business Owners and Entrepreneurs

I would use the framework we shared earlier and market it on subreddits like r/socialmedia.

Similar Solution:

  1. Threads Sync

Idea #2

A Chrome extension that redirects Mastodon links to a user’s home instance

Is there a Chrome extension to redirect Mastodon links to your home instance?
Seems like you could key off the Link: header, but this is impossible with
Manifest v3 😕

Redditors have been asking for this for over a year.

This extension would be useful for people who use Mastodon and want an easier and more customized way to use it.

Your primary audience would be people who care about their privacy and prefer open-source platforms.

Marketing:

  • I would partner with YouTubers like Chris Were, who have an audience of people who care about open-source.
  • I would also attend conferences like FOSDEM and DEF CON. Guess who else would be attending these conferences? Your ideal users
  • And be active in the Mastodon subreddit.

Monetization:

  • Create and sell reports to businesses interested in decentralized social network trends, like New Vector Ltd (who created Matrix.org). These reports could have unnamed details about what users like on Mastodon and their usage.

Similar Solutions:

  1. Mastodon Redirector
  2. Graze
  3. FediAct

Idea #3

A Chrome extension that lets users select a frame from a YouTube video to use as the thumbnail

(Premium Subscribers Only).

Idea #4

A Chrome extension that automatically accepts meeting times when you click on a Calendly link

(Premium Subscribers Only).

I hope you enjoyed this week’s Chrome Extension Ideas. See you next week.

Talk Soon,
