DownThemAll (2019)
Wow. Didn&#x27;t expect this :) I was the author of this tiny extension back in the days (extension #201, I still remember it) together with a friend who recently passed away, Federico Parodi.<p>We hacked the first version when we still didn&#x27;t know much about JS, but it immediately exploded (500k daily users). Donations were super helpful at that time, being 22 years old with a newborn.<p>After a couple of years (iirc) Nils Maier joined the team and helped us a lot. Years later he managed to transition the codebase to the new web extension tooling that was introduced by Firefox a few years ago.<p>This little extension really shaped my professional career. The realization that something I made could have such an impact is what gave me the drive to keep creating small indie products, which I&#x27;m still doing nowadays with <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.datocms.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.datocms.com</a><p>Thanks for making my day! :)
