Show HN: Edge Drop- #1 productivity and unique clipboard 200 stars on GitHub
github.comI'm not sure the star count means much these days. Regardless, the tool seems interesting. Thanks for adding the videos into the readme as well, it seems quite polished from those - although I've not tried it out myself.
Why so
Two reasons really. First, there have been instances of bot networks allowing people to buy stars on their repos. This was more common back a few years ago but I'm sure they still operate.
Second, stars don't denote usage or downloading of the code or app. Lots of people use them more as bookmarks which show interest but not much more.
I think if you go back a few years people really did think of GitHub stars as some kind of social proof. That seems to have largely come back around now, and while it's a sign that the project has some attention, there are better ways to see that it is active.
None of that is to devalue the work you've done. It does look like a nice and well thought through application.
But the thing you said donnot experience why you so not wana try out the app. And if you really wana see the proof like that people are using the app that i only have the download of the file and reddit users feature requests I as a developer wants to know why you do not want to try out the app so I can improve
Nearly 200 stars in a repository that is only four weeks old is remarkable. Where did you promote it?
Thanks. IDK it's first time for me getting attention and users in a thing I built for my self but I feels like that users liked the features and the usability
First commit was only one month ago, so it's sure gained some traction...
But the app was really launched just 2 weeks ago
Forgive me but I thought of the Drop function in Microsoft Edge when I saw the title.
Yea I got this after i decided the name edge drop I was not aware of the edge browser feature drop
Why is the logo a poop?
It's a tribute to microsoft poop clipboard
