Hey Hunters,
First things first, thanks so much @jasonyogeshshah for hunting us!
My name is Matteo and I'm the creator of Ultidash, a Chrome extension that collects a bunch of productivity tools in the new tab page. There are quite a few awesome productivity extensions out there, so what we did is put the most useful ones in one place.
Ultidash includes a to-do list in different formats, a timer connected to a site blocker (for, say, restricting your access to social media or entertainment sites), a site tracker (to track your browsing habits) and performance stats. It also gives you background pictures changing depending on the time of the day (or you can also upload your own!), the time, date, a four-day weather forecast and user-generated greeting messages changing every hour.
That's about it (for now), we would love to hear your feedback and answer your questions!

@matteo_bulgarelli@jasonyogeshshah Great chrome extension! Thought - With so many friends and colleagues being in different countries it would also be great to see various clocks / weather / events etc.
@kaaathrynh@jasonyogeshshah Hey Kathryn, we are happy you like it :) Sounds very interesting, we'll definitely take a look into that. We could include a smaller clock above the current one (and do the for the weather), what do you think?
Thanks so much for your feedback!

@matteo_bulgarelli@jasonyogeshshah Love it! Looks alot like Momentum Dash in many ways... were they in any way an inspiration to this product? Great work
@yoann_qrdl Hey Yoann, thanks so much for the kind words! Much appreciated! The only data we collect is what is asked during registration (i.e. name and email), all the rest is stored locally on your Chrome local storage, and we have no access to it :)
Hey @matteo_bulgarelli@pressplayplease, this looks really great :) I can't help but notice a lot of similarity between your extension and Momentum Dash which is a product I also love. Were they perhaps the inspiration behind your design?
@jairusstreight@pressplayplease Hey JS, we're very glad you like it!
There are so many amazing new tab replacements on the Chrome store, and we were inspired by many of them. In terms of design, Momentum was a great source for sure :)
Perfect landing page - actionable & nothing more, much appreciated. Also, I added your extension, looks even better than taco. @ultidash@jasonyogeshshah
@elizabethhunker Hey Elizabeth! Thanks so much, happy you enjoy it! What do you think we could improve? :)

Wow, this extension looks great and its tutorial is awesome, upvoted! Though, it was unclear what should happen after I installed it (nothing changed except the new button in menu). I got it when I opened a new tab in my browser. I'll keep testing it. Also, no buttons to your Facebook or Twitter on your website, why? I wanted to follow you and leave my feedback there :)
@galeriks Hey Halyna, thanks for the support! You might be right when you say that it's not intuitive what happens after the app is installed, especially for those users that have never used a new tab replacement before. I'm thinking we could add a popup or make it clearer in the Chrome store description. We'll work on that! The social media links on the website are coming :) Thanks so much for your feedback!

Digging this one guys. Just shared it on my blog as part of my weekly tool review. http://www.simplecreativemarketi...
Not sure if it's even possible but would love to integrate with List Goal extension as well so I can track my daily/monthly email subscriber numbers.
@anferneec Hey Anfernee, we saw your piece! Very, very happy you like Ultidash!
We've received quite a bit of feedback for integrations with other apps, it's starting to feel like that's the direction we should take. We will take a closer look at other existing extensions (such as List Goal) and see what we can do! :)
Thanks for the feedback and for the article!

This looks like Momentum to me. What exactly is the difference?
@ekana_stone Hey Ekana! That's a great question, we sometimes struggle to show how Ultidash is different from Momentum or similar apps - we need to work on that. To answer your question, Ultidash is catered to people that care about productivity; while it shares some of the "look and feel" with Momentum and similar extensions, Ultidash wants to make people more productive and efficient, rather than just showing a nice background :) Does this answer your question?

Yeah - momentum is disaapointing - you guys actually worked in amazing features that perfectly integrate with those gorgeous backgrounds and seamlessly blend in!
