In this post, I will show you how you can create a Google Chrome extension that will block social media websites like Twitter: Facebook, Instagram,...
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
That's nice as initial concept! 😁
I see you're looking for contributors, if I don't forget about it (can't promise) I'll add some PRs for useful features I mind during my vacations.
Have a great weekend! :)
@helitha nevermind, already did a PR, check it out.
Now it also checks for embedded content of those blocked sites inside other websites.
Sorry for the formatting thingy, prettier took care of it nicely 😁
Hope it suits you, cheers!
Merged your pr request. 👍 @joelbonetr
Np, it was fun 😂 i wanted to toy a bit with Chrome extensions for a while so it was a good opportunity.
Btw I've first tried to set different files instead getting everything inside the main JS, it was breaking in errors because it doesn't consider it as module so I couldn't use
importstatements. Despite this, I'm pretty sure it should be a way to workaround that. Didn't have more time to make some tests, thought.Thank you for making a contribution! 🤓
Found your article through google recommendations. The code, idea and implementation is really nice, however I'd also point out that if you're having such trouble like distracting from work to social media then blocking websites will not help much. When your brains seeks for dopamine it'll do whatever it can to gain it, like opening another browser, disabling extension or using mobile phone. So as one single solution to addiction it definitely won't work, but it may work in complex with other stuff, like having more controlled and planned rest and getting more outdoor activity. Anyway, if someone has such problem find a local therapist or contact your HR, they usually know how to solve such issues)
(The article is good by the way, just enable syntax highlighting)
@metammodern Thanks for this comment. It got me thinking.
Appreciate your feedback!
Hey @hr21don
Ti here --
I was able to find some time today, and I've implemented a few changes.
This PR mainly handles:
README.mdto the root of the project, explaining the different commands to run for development, and building the extension.www.discord.comandwww.twitter.com, however, this check failed since thehostnamefor those sites didn't have thewww.And that is pretty much it for now. Later, I'm going to work on a few feature ideas I have in mind!
Warmest regards,
Tyrus Malmstrom 🚀
Very nice! I appreciate the contribution your making to the repo. @tiru5
Lol, I use youtube for learning too hahaha, but maybe we could block anything that is not tech related using some Google Vision to determine the labels? or maybe if it contains some specific words in the description we let it pass :) Well done, I was thinking of doing something similar to reduce distraction!!!
Awesome concept for a Chrome extension, and well executed! 😃
I really like the updated animation you implemented, looks really clean and fluid.
I'd also love to contribute to this project -- when I have some free time, I'm going to implement a few features / thoughts I have and if all looks good, submit a PR.
Thanks for sharing, greatly appreciate it.
Onwards and upwards 🚀
I liked the animation. Nice job
I found my inspiration from this little snippet found here on codepen.
Really impressive
This is interesting, also contributed and would make more meaningful addons later on.
Fun concept idea.
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks!!
I'm going to create a free adult site blocker, so anyone can install it!!!!!
