Useful tool for investors especially. I think @Noah_L was asking for something like this a while ago (I could be wrong). They integrate with AngelList, Crunchbase, and Alexa. Maybe they should add Product Hunt. :)

@rrhoover @Noah_L They should definitely add Product Hunt!
Karim Roushdy
@rrhoover @Noah_L another good product here that is all about making things speedy and simpler. great how they directly display founders and competitors.

@rrhoover @Noah_L I just signed up for the Product Hunt API. Will integrate Product Hunt into Starry soon :D @k_roushdy Thanks Karim. Seems like people are most interested about the founders and the competitors. Starry's next release will display founders and competitors' more detailed information in-page in Starry's sidebar instead of directing users to an external window (e.g. edu/work background, contact/social media info for founders, complete in-page profile for competitors).
Noah Lichtenstein
@rrhoover yeah, this would definitely be a helpful tool. I downloaded it and have been playing with it a bit. I do think it would be great if more of the info could be rendered in the sidebar instead of kicking off to an external site. Looking forward to using it though and seeing it evolve!

Nice! :) I built the Be Limitless chrome extension. So always great to see cool extensions.

@_anupg Be Limitless looks so awesome!

Nice one guys! Giving it a spin The momentumdash website has exactly the similar look! http://momentumdash.com/ You might want to use a different background in the initial days to avoid confusion.

This is pretty cool - it's a Chrome extension that displays funding/traffic info for the site you're on, and you can easily add to a special startups folder in your favourites.

Looking forward to trying this out! As an aside, not having Starry information for the Starry site seems like a missed opportunity for awesomeness http://d.pr/i/10rVJ

@turoczy Yeah, I noticed that!

@ghobs91 Wow thanks! Do you mind telling me what operating system you are using and the exact url where you saw this problem?
Some Guy
@liviavinci @ghobs91 Sure! I'm using Mac OSX 10.10 Yosemite, and the url was just plain old www.google.com

@ghobs91 @liviavinci @ghobs91 Hey Ghobs sorry but we might have to wait for a few more days to fix this. I just reverted from Yosemite to Mavericks a couple of days ago. My laptop just couldn't take it anymore :p
