Original Summary

I do AI-training gig work (data annotation for platforms like Outlier and DataAnnotation) and built a browser extension for that niche: it tracks time across platforms, shows your real hourly rate once unpaid work is counted, and keeps a dated log of every session for checking payouts. What I learned in launch week: Store reviews took very different times. Chrome and Edge approved it in about 2 days. Firefox's listed review took a few days longer, so I self-hosted a Mozilla-signed build in the meantime instead of telling Firefox users to wait. Payment fees add up at a low price. ExtensionPay on top of Stripe costs 5% + Stripe's fee, so $5 nets about $4.30. At this price point that's a big share. Trust is the whole game in this niche. Gig workers are scared of getting flagged by the platforms, so the extension deliberately has no access to any website. Leading with "it can't see any site" did more than any feature list. Cross-browser bugs hide in places you don't test. A dev-only switch showed for every Firefox user because I detected store installs with a Chrome-only manifest field. It slipped into my first Firefox submission and I had to push a fixed version. Pricing: free for 2 platforms, $5/month for unlimited + CSV export. The bet is that people juggling several platforms feel the problem most and will pay. Would you gate a tool like this by usage (2 platforms free) or by time (14-day full trial)?   submitted by   /u/SnooSketches7336 [link]   [comments]
