Comment on: Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (June 2025)

Trying _not_ to create another subscriptions for your browser extension platform, but I want to solve the problems with the storage.sync API (limited support, limited data, not cross browser/cross device) for my own extensions, so I'm effectively dogfooding one.I've added a few exclusive features to one of my extensions for subscribers in addition to settings syncing, and have auth and Stripe redirects and webhooks working, so now at the stage of working out the best heuristics to use for when to sync and connecting the extension to the settings API.
