Netvyne — Chrome extension to leave and read comments on any URL

Hi Product Hunt, trust 2022 is off to a good start! 💯 I’d like to introduce Netvyne, a tool which at its core is a Chrome extension that empowers you (the consumer) to leave and read comments on any URL. There are many challenges with the current state of commenting on the Internet. Not every website has a comment section. Sites that do have a comment section sometimes close it for new comments. Even sites that go as far as to moderate the comments sometimes do so with noticeable bias. While comments can help consumers make informed decisions, our goal at Netvyne is to also address the emotional need to share and witness authentic reactions. I was first introduced to this Chrome extension idea by a friend a couple years ago in college, and worked on it on-and-off as a side project. At the start of last year, I picked it up as a serious undertaking and re-wrote the tool with a tightly-knit team of 5 fulltime people. A bunch of premature optimization and feature creep later, we're ready to launch with what I believe has a modicum of utility. We launched on Hacker News earlier this month and we’re looking to get more critical feedback 👀 The idea is not particularly new, in fact there have been a couple successful launches of similar products on PH. What differentiates us is that we’re building content moderation from the very start, which is more of an operations problem than a technical problem. We’re committed to civility of discussion over all else; if that means sacrificing “free” speech, or taking the site down temporarily while we scale up moderation, so be it. Timing-wise, people are increasingly familiar with the idea of Chrome extensions, and have also recognized the value of comments due in large part to the popularity of Reddit in recent years. If you have a moment, try out our extension and please let us know what you think! To make this interesting, we’ll donate $100 to Wikipedia if you can help us get to 1000 public comments by the end of the week (note of course that abusive/spam comments will be removed). You can track total comments for yourself here: https://netvyne.com/status. We’ll post updates on Twitter (@netvyne) as we go! Khalil & The Netvyne Team
