Alexius Lee

Alexius Lee, a solo developer, launched Multi-Highlight, a Chrome extension, in July 2017. This innovative tool addresses a common user need: efficiently highlighting multiple words across various websites. While the 'Other' category might initially seem broad, Multi-Highlight carves a niche by focusing on a specific productivity enhancement – significantly improving the workflow for researchers, students, and anyone who frequently highlights text online. Since its launch, Alexius has cultivated a community of 188 members, with 4 dedicated paid patrons who contribute to the ongoing development and maintenance of the extension. Despite modest current earnings (estimated at $5-$150), the project reflects a significant personal achievement – building a functional, useful tool, garnering substantial interest, and achieving a stable, though small, revenue stream from user support. Alexius's project demonstrates the power of individual ingenuity and the potential for small-scale software projects to build a community around a valuable tool.
