1. 1
   Stop Reels▲163

   Hey HN, I just launched a free Chrome extension called Stop Reels — it blocks Reels/short videos on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, without breaking other features like messaging or the regular feed. Why I built it Like many people, I found myself endlessly scrolling Reels even when I only opened the apps for something specific. The algorithms are too good at hijacking attention. There are tools to block entire sites, but none I found that just surgically block Reels and Shorts — and leave the rest of the platform functional (DMs, posts, marketplace, etc). So I built…

   I built an app to block Shorts and Reels▲690

   I wanted to find a way to use Instagram without ending up scrolling for two hours every time I open the app to see a friend's story. Most screen time apps I found focus on blocking the app itself instead of the addictive feed, so I created this app to allow me to keep using the "healthy" and "social" features and block the infinite scrolling (Reels) After implementing the block on Instagram Reels, I got addicted to YouTube Shorts and Reddit feed. So, I extended the app to cover these as well. To avoid replacing the scrolling for regular feeds, I also added a feature that shows a pop-up when…

    A Chrome extension to give you back control over short-form videos▲128

    Hi HN! I built this little extension to prevent, in my opinion, the most offensive anti-pattern used by tech companies. That is removing the seek bar in short-form videos. The "seek bar" is the bar at the bottom of a video that progresses as you play the video, and that you can click on or drag to skip around. Why companies ever thought it was a good idea to get rid of this I don't know, but I find it infuriating, so I decided to add it back for myself and thought others might like it too. ReelControl adds a progress bar and seeking capabilities to videos on Instagram, YouTube Shorts, and…

    Tube PiP▲25

    Hi HN, I built an iOS app called Tube PiP because I was frustrated with the official YouTube app locking useful features behind Premium. Tube PiP gives you: - Picture-in-Picture (PiP) playback - Background / lock screen playback - Sleep timer - No ads - Hide Shorts (for sanity) All the stuff you normally have to pay for—free. App Store link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tube-pip-pip-for-youtube/id647... I’d love to hear what you think. Feedback, bug reports, feature requests—bring it on!
