True, you pretty much have to open source your code if you are gonna build a browser extension.
I have tried WhatRuns and it is pretty bare bones. Not useful at all. Wappalyzer’s browser extension is free as well and much better data. It just is missing a lot of data on companies that use backend tools like ChatGPT and Claude, but so far Bloomberry has been pretty useful in that area.
Oh and one thing your tool is missing is a browser extension. That is what makes Wappalyzer so much easy to use (and its alternatives like SimilarTech, etc)
It would make my workflow so much more convenient. Instead of logging into an app every single time. Have you thought about building one? I imagine with ChatGPT you can just vibe code one these days!
Thanks, I just signed up for Bloomberry and it definitely fits the bill on what I was looking for. Was even able to find companies that use chatgpt, which wappalyzer missed.
Job postings was another thing i was thinking of. U are right that it can be flawed and you gotta do a bit of discerning but if a company keeps mentioning the same stack in all their postings, it probably means they use it.
