Currently I am developing a browser extension to improve the review process on GitLab.
At the company, where I work, we are heavily relying on multiple reviewers to promote familiarity with the code base, as well as, of course, to increase overall code quality.
Gitlab Premium and Ultimate allow to use multiple reviewers, however, we don't need any other features from those tiers (well, maybe organization-wide code search could be nice as well).
As the result, I created a browser extension, which allows to use multiple reviewers via comments and descriptions. It also has graceful degradation, i.e. even team members without the extension will still be able to participate in the process.
On top of that the extension adds merge request deadlines with notifications, comment labels (viewable without the extension as well), custom review statuses ("Approved conditionally " is a real time saver) and more.
The extension works pretty well in our company, however, I would love to see if it's applicable to other companies as well, or what other features people need.
That's all good, but even if I create something that solves a problem and publish the site - nobody knows about it. I get 10 visitors per day.
From SEO perspective, there is very little chance to rank high as a new site for quite some time (unless there is something I don't know, and you could share).
So I guess the question is not how to get the first 1$, but how to get first 1000 of (even free) users
