Reddit Votify Extension

Reddit Votify is a chrome extension that works to bring back upvote and downvote counts on the front page of every subreddit!

How does it work?
We essentially crowdsource the '% like this' and total score for all submissions and store them elsewhere after computing the upvotes and downvotes using an algorithm (thanks to /u/bxtk for the code samples)
We then display these on a subreddit's front page.

What will it do?
Here are some features that are in the pipeline:
* Live updating of upvotes and downvotes (no page reloads - watch live as comments and submissions are voted on)
