Browser extension for focus

“Show HN: I was tired of opening 2 tabs for every HN link, so I made a userscript HN is great for the links people share, but a big part of the value I get comes from reading the discussion around them. I realized I was always opening the article in one tab and the comments in another, constantly switching back and forth. I figured there was probably a simpler way, so I threw together this userscript to merge the two. 1. Clicking a link from Hacker News opens the article with a side panel contain”

“Show HN: Browser Harness – Gives LLM freedom to complete any browser task Hey HN, We got tired of browser frameworks restricting the LLM, so we removed the framework and gave the LLM maximum freedom to do whatever it's trained on. We gave the harness the ability to self correct and add new tools if the LLM wants (is pre-trained on) that. Our Browser Use library is tens of thousands of lines of deterministic heuristics wrapping Chrome (CDP websocket). Element extractors, click helpers, targe”

“Ask HN: How to escalate a rejected Google extension? I submit an extension (an adblocker) to Google Chrome's web store. Google keeps rejecting it for dubious reasons. The first rejection was claim it was spam . When I appealed, the review came back that it contained additional functionality because it uses modifies network traffic . Well of course it does! When I asked the reviewer how I could achieve the stated functionality of blocking ads without the use of declarativeNetRequest I simply”

“Show HN: Textile – A desktop app for weaving together bits of text Hi all, I'm excited to show off Textile, a desktop app I recently built. Textile can combine bits of text using various inputs, such as commands on your computer, the contents of your clipboard, and hard-coded strings that you provide. It lets you carefully build up and modify a dynamic string, step by step, until it's exactly how you need it. The saved steps can then be executed on demand, with the click of a button or”

“Ask HN: Is Reddit trying to kill old Reddit? It’s not news that Reddit requires login for old Reddit. That’s annoying enough but now I can’t login in incognito. Maybe it’s a network thing because I’m standing in a long line trying to login? In any case the net effect is that it’s becoming harder and harder to use Reddit the way it used to be. Anyone know what’s going on?”

“Show HN: I built a Web-Scraper API that is 6-7x more efficient than current ones Runo is a web-scraping API that returns typed, structured JSON. You define a schema (field name, type, example value), and Runo fetches the page and returns the data. No HTML, no parsers, no post-processing. Over the past few weeks, I have been building this non stop. Currently, every scraper API out there solves the site fetching problem but left the extraction of the actual data entirely to users. Runo makes that ”

“Show HN: SmallDocs - A CLI and webapp for private Markdown reading and sharing Hi HN, I’d like to introduce you to SmallDocs ( https://sdocs.dev ). It's an open-source CLI + webapp to instantly and 100% privately preview, share and optionally style markdown files. (Code: https://github.com/espressoplease/SDocs ) The more we work with command line based agents the more `.md` files are part of our daily lives. Their output is great for agents to produce, but a li”

“[Bug]: On a "new transaction" mobile page clicking "payee" takes two clicks instead of one ### Verified issue does not already exist? - [X] I have searched and found no existing issue - [X] I will be providing steps how to reproduce the bug (in most cases this will also mean uploading a demo budget file) ### What happened? When on mobile, on a "new transaction" page clicking on any form field (payee, category, account, date, notes) takes 2 clicks to open the field instead of 1. L”

“Ask HN: How do you force yourself to take breaks while coding? I'm a dev with zero self-control. One more function turns into 3 hours. Tried Apple Screen Time – I just click Ignore every time. Tried Pomodoro apps – closed them when they got annoying. What actually works for you? Hardware timers? Standing desks? Blocking software? I'm building a macOS tool that uses full-screen overlays with a 30s cooldown to bypass, but curious what approaches others have found effective.”
