I kept deleting and redownloading Instagram because I couldn't stop watching Reels but needed the app for DMs. Tried screen time limits, just overrode them. So I built this. Dull loads Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and X and filters out short-form content with a mix of CSS and JS injection. MutationObserver handles anything that lazy-loads after the page renders, which is most of the annoying stuff since these platforms love to load content dynamically.

YouTube started blocking me because I use an adblocker.

You can change the default frontend to something else if you like.

Link/it▲11I kept running into a super annoying problem as an affiliate — social media apps open links in their own browsers, and that kills tracking, breaks deep links, and sometimes just eats commissions entirely. I couldn’t find a good fix, so I built one. It’s a little link converter that makes your affiliate links open in the user’s real browser instead of the in-app one. No magic, just a small trick that makes a big difference. Totally free. No signup needed unless you want to make a full link-in-bio page. If you just want to fix a link, that works right out of the box. It doesn’t cost me…
