Products that do what I made a Chrome Extension that helped me give better standup updates does
I often forget the list of tasks done and frequently miss mentioning updates during stand-ups. I made a Chrome Extension for myself and I found myself using it more than expected in the last few weeks (especially as I was at home) Sharing it here so others can give it a try too: https://usedone.today/

I created this chrome extension for myself where I track my own behavior locally and recommend myself content from platforms I want content from (youtube/twitter/quora/etc) in a feed. I made it public just in case anyone else was interested. I would rather have control over my own algorithm and own the data. Also, it gives me flexibility. Turns out I do like these feeds just not when I don't own it haha. Let me know what you think of my implementation?

I've been working on and off on a Chrome Extension for Hacker News, the extension focusses on improved usability rather than design. I can almost guarantee that after a day you won't want to go back to regular Hacker News. Give it a try, features include: - Improved readability - Quick inline replies from comments page - Quick profiles with social network info when hovering over usernames - Filtering of stories based on terms and phrases / domain or user - Endless scrolling - Collapsible comment threads - Social sharing for Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Buffer Forks, improvements and comments…

I recently decided to try out Google Tasks as my only task management system, and while I find some things about the interface great, it really isn't suited for someone like me who has multiple lists with lots of elements on each. So, I whipped this together real fast and I can't imagine using Google Tasks without it anymore. I realized you might want it too, so I put it on the web. Enjoy :)

I just launched a new project aimed at helping people to do something fun and creative every day by giving them daily challenges. The goal is to promote habitual creativity by reducing the barrier to content creation and reminding users to keep at it. Everyone can see everyone else's creations and give them some encouragement with a like. When designing Get Creative, I wanted something with a mobile sensibility: badged notifications reminding users to return, a very simple interface, even a predefined viewing size. But I didn't want to dive full in to iOS or Android where testing would be…

Hey HN, this is a small project I created that blurs your browser window whenever you start slouching. I'm sure it can be improved, but I wanted to put it out there in case anyone was interested. Links to the github repo [0] and the extension on the Chrome Webstore [1]. I'd love to get some feedback on it. [0] https://github.com/killa-kyle/posture-posture-posture-chrome...

Hello HN! Beginner dev here; read several articles about the challenges faced by users with disabilities (and the impact on businesses). Thought to build a chrome extension to enhance web experience for users with disabilities, after realizing that current solutions focus on auditing web for accessibility. Current features published on Chrome store: Text Magnification | High contrast | Alt text | TTS. Working on (but not published yet) tooltip to explain each feature, additional language support. Will appreciate feedback, collaborations and suggestions of things to improve. GitHub Repo:…

There has been many recent discoveries (including the leak) about how 16 media companies dominated Google Search results, abusing their status to rank very high on a bunch of garbage they put out. And like that saying goes, I can't change the world, but I can change myself. I don't want to look at their bullshit anymore when I search for food recipes or product reviews. So this extension is my way of protesting. Full write up: https://thesolofoundernewsletter.com/p/secondpage

I’ve been using this for my own workflow and friends suggested I share it with them so I quickly threw together my first chrome extension! As an ex-editor, I think chatGPT is overlooked as an editor with everyone jumping straight into writing. Editing is essentially giving it as comprehensive a writing prompt as possible. Playing with the actual prompt also gets you a wide range of different results that grammarly/other apps cant really do. The x% has been changed tool was the first thing I built to see how intrusive chatGPT's editing was at a glance. My biggest struggle was trying to…

Hi all, I just made this Chrome extension I would like to hear your feedback on: http://alexisrondeau.com/reup/ The extension will ask you to define a goal while working within Chrome. Once you've set yourself that goal it will be visible on any webpage you visit after that. Some background: I've been noticing how much time I tend to waste online, especially Facebook, HackerNews, and tried many different ways to control the habit. There are extensions and methods out there that should help with this kind of behavior, for example StayFocusd or LeechBlock, but I have found myself not being…

Hey, folks! I'm writing this small Chrome Extension to help me find jobs I'd be interested in the monthly HN's "Who is Hiring?" thread. I've used React to render the UI that just loads a stripped down version of the posts and look into them by the tags I've chosen. Here's a demo: http://imgur.com/a/CzNSa. I haven't submitted to the Chrome Web Store yet because of their $5 fee. :P But let me know if you'd be interested and I can share the extension with you :)

Whether it is a designer ultra-tweeting about some conference she is at or a venture capitalist intensely describing his pursuit of the always-elusive "inbox zero", sometimes you just want to mute someone you follow on Twitter. This extensions allows you to do just that. You can easily put accounts that you follow in the penalty box, where they will be silenced and feel shame. When you have deemed their sins absolved, you can let them out, free to fill your Twitter stream again. Download: http://bit.ly/u1giXH Read About: http://bit.ly/tdqX6y Source: http://bit.ly/tmxvf1

I built a simple Chrome extension to finally deal with my tab anxiety. I used to have 100s of tabs open — half were tasks, the rest were links I didn’t want to lose. Now, if something’s quick (like replying to an email), I just do it and close the tab.If it’s a task that’ll take time, I add a one-line note with a link (if needed) to the To-do tab.If it’s not a task but something I want to read or save, I add it to the Links tab — and close the tab. This small workflow has been a game-changer. I finally feel okay closing tabs and can focus better.The to-do list forces me to pick just one…

Hi HN, I recently built a simple Chrome extension called Twinbox to help organize DMs on X (formerly Twitter - yes, I reminded you again haha). The idea came from my own frustration with managing multiple conversations – it’s easy for things to get lost, especially when juggling personal, work, and project-related chats. The extension lets you: - Create folders to categorize your DMs (e.g., “Work,” “Friends,” “Projects”). - Keep things tidy and easier to follow up on. It’s free to use, lightweight, and privacy-focused – all the organization happens locally in your browser. I’d love to hear…

On my new large screen, it was a little cumbersome to read PG's essays because they are sticking so far off to the left. I center aligned it so it's a bit more readable. Took 2 hours with chatgpt to ideate, build, and publish.

Hey everyone, I'm just a regular guy who spends way too much time online. Whether it's scrolling through articles, binging blogs, or just doing some work, I realized something – the web can be a pretty dull place, visually speaking. Ever got tired of staring at the same old fonts and colors on every site? Yeah, me too. That's why I created BetterFont. It's a simple idea, really: let's make the web a bit more us. With BetterFont, you can change fonts, tweak colors, adjust spacing... all that good stuff, directly in your browser. No coding, no fuss. Whether you need bigger fonts to read…
