Hi HN! Since Youtube no longer allows AdBlockers, I built my own extension to get around their video ads. If there is an ad it temporarily manipulates the video; Mutes the volume, sets speed to 10x, and skips it if there is a button.

I built Focuser because I kept doom-scrolling when I was supposed to work What it does You pick any time-sink site Next visit, Focuser asks, “Do you really need this site?” If you tap Yes, you must 1⃣ Write why you need it 2⃣ Choose exactly how long you need access This 20 second friction is based on Shawn Achor’s habit-formation research Why it’s different Runs 100% client-side—no analytics, no external calls Uses Manifest V3 already (future-proof for June 2025 Chrome deprecation) Works offline Settings live in localStorage Ask Does the 20-second rule feel too long or too short?

I made this for my kid, I create a playlist and just send a SkipCut link like:…

I'm a solo dev. A few years ago, I got addicted to Reddit. Spent months in that loop. Being a programmer, I thought I'd be clever. Redirected Reddit's domain to nowhere in my DNS file. Worked great until I'd just... open the file and undo it 20 minutes later. So I made it irreversible. Locked the DNS file so it can't be edited unless I boot my Mac in safe mode. And if I do that, there's a script that instantly locks it again. Haven't used Reddit since last year. Problem solved, right? Wrong. I just replaced Reddit with Twitch and YouTube.

Youtube Shorts are pure evil. It just distract me whenever I open Youtube, I'll always waste my time in it and forget why I opened it. So I made a extension for myself and it works well, Still there is no improvement in my productivity but I'm not distracted.
