Show HN: My Chrome extension, Better History, recently hit 1.0

7 pointsby roykolakover 13 years ago
Hey there. Chrome is a great browser, but browsing your history sure stinks and the history extensions available feel poorly designed.<p>My extension is called Better History. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/obciceimmggglbmelaidpjlmodcebijb<p>I've tackled a few important milestones that take Better History miles above the other history options. Core features...<p><pre><code> * 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 </code></pre> 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<p>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!<p>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<p>Any feedback you have about Better History would be awesome.

I just installed it. I use my history a fair amount. I'll be back here on Monday.
