Happy to be here!

This is a walkthrough on creating the 'Scrolling Zombie' chrome extension which tracks the amount of scrolling a user does to make them aware of their browsing behavior and help them fight dark UI patterns.

In this guide I walk you through my typical approach to bringing an idea to life. I cover:

  • Problem statement
  • Use Cases
  • Architecture
  • Implementation
  • A few Observations (Gotchas)
