There is no specific order. I believe that it is randomized.

> But by and large the problem is that the anchor price for the browser and browser extensions is $0.
Great point. This was my thought initially which is why I suggested my friend to try a donation/pay-what-you-want model [1] before even trying to charge money for it outright. This might give an indication of whether the app solves a pain point enough to make people pay for it.

Are you using the Premium version of Pocket? Asking because extensions are a big part of their entire product offering.

My understanding is that an extension can be monetized in conjunction with a web/mobile app. Given the amount of free/open-source extensions, even I haven't been able to think of an extension that I would pay for.

Random Agent Spoofer seems like a good one. Trying it out on FF now.

I believe that this extracts useful content from the article and only sends text + images (like Readability).

Excited to see Vue doing so well on this list. I have been using it for the last few months at my day job, and I have been pleasantly surprised by it. I have tinkered with React & Angular in the past and I can second that the fact that compared to the other frameworks, getting started with Vue is a lot easier.
The ecosystem around it also quite mature - VueRouter & Vuex are well-tested solutions in case you have a use for it.
Another advantage that it has is its documentation & guides. It is quite exhaustive and easy to follow. My only gripe was that it doesn't go into the details of building a complete "single-page-app" that uses the accompanying tools (vue-cli, vuerouter, vuex etc).
Based on my learnings over the past few months, I have started writing a small ebook that goes over the process of building a full-fledged app.
I have created a small subscription form - http://eepurl.com/cvUk5D. You can add your email here to get notified when I launch this book and also get access to the early release.

Thanks. It is custom designed.
