Hey, so I "pivoted" my original idea of adding a comment section on any website ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15931518 ) to a comment aggregator that puts the relevant Reddit, HackerNews, and Facebook comments on the current website with the push of a button.

I made this switch due to the "marketplace/chicken-and-egg" problem my original idea had. It just wasn't very useful without a big amount of comments already on there. With the new direction, I picked up HN users dudzik's and brownbat's suggestions as in the linked thread above. :)

I like how you implemented our suggestions :)

You made it simple to switch between sources, and I like how clean the UI is.

Initially, I thought about each comment source being a separate extension. But I can see the value in integrating the sources into one. It makes it easier to get another perspective on a topic, without setting up too many things.

On the subject of getting different perspectives: Can you select the subreddits that provide you with the comments?

Thanks for your feedback (again :)).

At the moment it pools the comments from all Reddit and HN submissions and thus all subreddits. It sorts them by relevance/upvotes. I'm using this "plugin": https://github.com/tgallant/embedd

I was thinking about having configureable options where the user can choose which services to show comments from. Was thinking about adding others as well - e.g. Twitter, Disqus. I can imagine not all techies want FB comments. :) But for now, I just wanted to release another version first.
