I Made a Version of Honey That Doesn’t SCREW Creators

[@Gigusx]

I've only used Honey like... twice, so for me it doesn't make a difference, but the project would probably fill the void that will be left. Many creators would probably appreciate having the option. By the way, feedback-wise (not only about this, but your videos in general) - you talk about software architecture so often but never use any illustrations despite that the topic lends itself extremely well to being shown visually and/or animated. The one in this video might be the first time I've actually seen on your channel 😁I've always wished you'd include more of them in your videos, they help learn the ideas, too, since we're far more proficient at processing information using visual cues than symbolic (text).

You did a great job breaking down certain parts of how this extension works, even beyond just the basic necessities needed for coding chrome extensions. I think this was such a good move, this video will reach those curious about the honey scandal and potentially will bring more eyeballs then just developers. great content!

10:14 "doing shady shit as a company is a choice" - what a quote and very true! Thanks for the video. Didn't know that about honey! Kale ftw!

I think for one think your super hero-esque opening background music is entirely deserved.

[@ArjanCodes]

Haha, I'm going down with the ship! :)

Yes. But it would be nice to be able to select which creator to support, when multiple links are available. Also to have the option to prioritize creators or have favorites when they are known :) Secondary - it is fun to watch the internet react to the honey stuff. BTW in creating the database, it seems it might be in the interest of the creators to ensure that you have their affiliate links in your extension, so it might be nice to have a form, where creators can submit their links, to make kale kinda "crowd sourced" in a sense. This might also allow creators to let you know when a code expires. I am only suggesting this since I have no idea how the codes are sourced to the database otherwise.

0:56 Ow! I think I sprained a rib.

[@ammarhusain6235]

The random creator could be shuffle but then give you option at not using it. If I roll someone against my values, I can veto that random choice and roll back to supporting the Kale extension instead. 1 more screen.

[@ArjanCodes]

Interesting idea. I was thinking of a ‘favorites’ option where you would select your favorite creators and then those would get prioritized when searching for coupons.

Now, we are talking!!!

Posting a comment to help the algorithm cycle this video around.

Nice Honey idea!

[@pahawker]

@LegalEagle maybe you need an expert witness on how it could have worked without the conversion aspect?

[@ArjanCodes]

Happy to help.

F’ing PayPal! What a sleazy thing to do. You should definitely build a new extension because there’s a need for a legitimate alternative

[@glensmith491]

I knew Honey was screwing over someone (data harvesting was the most obvious) but I didn't know it was going to end up screwing over their own salesforce.. Edit: of course, when you're primary sales force are third party creators...

Thiel and Paypal mafia (including his protégé) always finding innovation in the evil sphere.

[@Gigusx]

It was such a weird tradeoff to make, too.

[@Hacker-at-Large]

Name the actual company. It's PayPal.

[@Shumier]

Only because since they were acquired. Don't be pedantic.

[@rantallion-hr5xp]

Great content but very unexpected from your mostly python channel

[@ArjanCodes]

From time to time, I like to do something completely different, to keep me sharp and see what happens 😊. Next week, it’s back to Python.

[@JPy90]

Awesome!

[@HexiumDev]

Interesting that you took the support button approach, I've done my own version like 2 weeks ago but i didn't do any way of the support approach since you're overriding the affiliate cookie and which will cost the store more money. nice implementation but i believe it'll hurt stores to the point where they'll increase the product prices.

[@AliResool-k8z]

So, you are going to scam people now, or what?
