I have recently released a chrome extension and it is at present getting about 3 upvotes a week. Not as many as hoped, but still not bad.

However, this may not be enough to get it into the apps tab (which is required for the competition) and I feel that it would be nice for my application to be at least considered. I assume that many other people feel the same way given the amount of time and effort writing programs takes when you have to fit real life around it.

However, something released several months ago, even if it averaged a vote a week, would still make it into the apps tab.

(I am now off to upvote every app I think worthy and that I would consider using. Especially the ones with less than 6 votes). (EDIT: There is some neat stuff out there that I missed. I have significantly more chrome extensions now).
