This chrome extension will become an assistant in your pursuit to control the time we spend every day in infamous time-sinks: Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, Reddit, LinkedIn and Netflix. We all know how distracting and engrossing these sites can be, but blocking them totally is also not a feasible option since they do provide some really useful content.

@tweetjai This is an awesome extension! Do you have Patreon page? I'd love to support your work on this.

@tweetjai @omerkhan Thank you, Omer. Glad to know that you found this extension useful. A page in buymeacoffee has been set up for users who'd like to support it. https://www.buymeacoffee.com/bet...

@tweetjai Done. Keep up the great work!

@tweetjai @omerkhan Thanks a lot for the support :)

Hi @tweetjai I made an app that does pretty much the same thing but for iOS on Safari. Great minds think alike ;) we're actually set to release on product hunt this week! https://feedzen.app/

@hamish_johnson This is really amazing to know that 🎉 1 person messaged me after my Reddit post if I can make something similar for Safari. I'm going to send this conversation's link to them 😄

@tweetjai Thanks so much! 🤗

Jai. Hi from a fellow side-project voyager! Love this idea of aggregating ideas for different sites into 1 plugin. I have some suggestions though: Make it difficult to turn off a setting (eg: make the user solve a math problem). I'm truly not interested in my fb feed, but I'm very addicted to youtube comments. So I may turn it off when my willpower is high and simply turn it back and refresh when it's low. Also, you must be a backend developer, the color-sense shows 😆 . (I'm no better myself, switched to bootstrap in my SP yesterday after spending months learning and mastering grid and flexbox). My suggestion: keep all tabs same color, but include the site's logo beside the name.

@npras I'm glad to know that you liked the idea. I was using 3 extensions to control each of these websites, so thought of combining all in one place. I like the idea to make it difficult for the user to turn off any setting. Puzzle or maybe disable the filter only after a wait period - like 5 minutes or so; so that we don't fall victim to our habits and impulses and use these sites only for any productive reason. You're right. Getting good at designing is a whole new area and needs more and more practice. Hope we'll get better at it someday 😃 All the best with your side-projects. Keep Creating!!!
