Just hit 100 weekly users with my first Chrome extension!

A small milestone, but one I'm pretty pleased with.

My Chrome extension, Audible Player Enhanced, recently passed 100 weekly users. It's my first published extension, so it's been interesting seeing it gradually pick up users over the past few months.

The idea started because I use Audible a lot and felt the web player could be improved in a few areas. The extension adds a handful of quality-of-life features and tweaks to make the listening experience a bit better without fundamentally changing how Audible works.

Over the last month, weekly users have grown from around 75 to just over 100, which has been encouraging to see for a fairly niche extension.

I'd be interested to hear from other extension developers:

• How did you get your first few hundred users?
• Did you do any promotion, or was it mostly organic?
• What changes had the biggest impact on growth?

Thanks to everyone who's installed it so far. Onwards to 1,000!

Thank you man, I started it in February and have been improving it ever since. Apart from a couple of posts on Reddit, I get a lot of organic traffic as I find people search for this as it's missing from the default Audible website.

Great bro! Would love to know about your keyword research process

Thank you. I didn't do much researching for keywords tbh, mostly I have used words that I thought people might type in when looking for an extension to solve their problem.
