Thank you for your thoughts - I appreciate this discussion. I think in the beginning it will best work on bigger websites with popular commenting sections and strict editorial policies. Take The Guardian for example. They disable comments very often, moderate them aggressively - I would love to be able to discuss their content on their website without their control. Another user case is reviews on websites that more savvy users find not trustworthy. Scam websites etc. Being able to read actual user reviews there could be invaluable.

That's a good use-case I guess.

I had an idea that you could have a feed where peoples comments are showing up. So when you'd press the extension or open the app you'd see "oh people are using this app and this is where they are commenting".

Then Birdy itself becomes the "network" and each comment made is more likely to be seen by other Birdy members.

Thanks for the suggestion. In the future I would like to add a dashboard where users would be able to see comments from all sources they are interested in. Just a single feed for all comments in the system might be overwhelming.
