lawrencehook.com/rys does this too

self promo: I made a notes app ;) lawrencehook.com/ws

It's a browser extension that lets you write sticky notes on top of websites.

self-promo, but you might find my extension helpful. https://lawrencehook.com/rys/

I wonder if it makes any sense to ask if complexity and criticality are inextricable?

Problems in Ramsey theory typically ask a question of the form: "how big must some structure be to guarantee that a particular property holds?"

I appreciate the comment.

In my mind, the sync feature for this app is less about backup and more about maintaining a single instance across multiple computers/browsers.

this is fascinating, I was 4 years old haha

I don't know. The main hurdle for me is the $99 / year fee that's required

FYI extensions don't need a network permission to make network requests.

There's an option in Firefox to disable auto-updates for an extension.

Not as easy in Chrome, but there's ways to do it. For example here's one: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/chromium-extensio...

an intriguing idea :)

I'm a big fan of Streaks!

Thank you! And thanks for the feedback

There's a way to get Chrome extensions working in Safari. I haven't tried it out though.

Thanks for the feedback.

I realize the mobile UX is terrible. It's only designed for desktop, for now.

And yea, the security issue is tough. I'll see if I can reduce the required permissions.

Thanks for the comment. It's a valid concern.

Chrome and Firefox have a review team for their extension marketplace, though I believe there are instances of malicious extensions getting through anyway.

And while rather labor intensive, another path toward vetting is examining the source code. I haven't obfuscated it, and Googling for "view extension source code" has many results.

And for what it's worth, I can give an assurance that I'm not a bad actor.

Ah, I misread the Google results. Looks neat, I'll take a look.

I'm quite unfamiliar with Web3 so can't say that I do.

these are good ideas, thank you

Unfortunately Apple has substantially more hoops to jump through in order to publish to the Safari extension store. Maybe in the future.

That's a neat idea. Quite ambitious, but agreed it would be cool

Thanks for the feedback.

1. I believe extension shortcuts are configurable through the browser settings. Here are some copy/pasted Google results

Chrome: 1. Click the three-dot menu from the browser's top-right corner. 2. From the More tools list, open Extensions. 3. Click the three-line menu from the top-left corner. 4. Select Keyboard shortcuts. 5. Click the Edit icon below the extensions.

Firefox: 1. Click the menu button. click Add-ons and themes and select Extensions. 2. Click the Tools for all add-ons cogwheel. 3. Click Manage Extension Shortcuts in the menu. 4. You will see the shortcut options (if available) for your installed add-ons.

2. That's a good idea. Not sure how I'd implement it. I'll put in on the roadmap :)

Say Yes to WebStickies :P

That's very cool.

Awesome! Thanks for the comment

* Just noticed the HOST variable in the extension code is pointing to localhost rather than my server, so login/register isn't going to work for a bit. Updated but it'll take up to an hour to be released. :facepalm:

edit: the fix is released!

thank you!

Interesting.. I took the color scheme from the Stickies application on MacOS, so hopefully 3M goes after Apple before me :)

I've wasted countless hours scrolling through the Facebook news feed (and Instagram) over the years, so I decided to make a browser extension that nips this activity in the bud. So far, it's been effective. I spend much less idle time on social media after the week or so I've had it installed.

Following Jame Clear's guidelines of "Start small" and "Make it easy", this extension simply gives you the option to remove certain elements of the Facebook and Instagram websites, for example, the Facebook news feed and stories; and the Instagram explore page and suggestions.

Hope it can help others too, feedback welcome! Free, and open source.
