ZenTube Focus

What it does

Chrome extension that turns YouTube into a pure search engine (bye-bye algorithm rabbit holes). Like a lot of you, I go to YouTube to learn something specific, but 45 minutes later, I'm watching a documentary about deep-sea creatures because the algorithm decided I needed to see it. The feed and the sidebar recommendations are just too good at distracting me. So, I built ZenTube Focus, a minimal Chrome extension designed to strip away the chaos and make YouTube an intentional tool again.

  I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783

  With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
