but how would it work from a database point of view? i can't pay for a database, so it would need to use the wasteof api somehow, like for example when you click the like button, the browser extension would auto-reply "+1" to comments and it would then count comments containing +1 as likes in a counter on comments (but not actually show the “+1” comments) 
I could actually make the api/host it and the database on my VPS if you’d like!
if i ever get around to developing that addon, i’ll let you know :D
I also noticed people mentioning things like polls, and such, that stuff could also be integrated with the API.
it definitely could! i’m really excited for more people to contribute code/addons to wasteofplus, though!
