I built a chrome extension to add some real accountability to my mindless browsing habits

I've been struggling recently with mindlessly browsing YouTube / Facebook / other distracting time sinks. Naturally as a dev I built a chrome extension to try and solve my own problems:

Come check it out: https://getworth.dev/

Usage is pretty simple:

  1. ⌚ Configure your distracting sites with: a url + a daily limit + a daily penalty

  2. ✋🏽 Whenever you land on a distracting site, you'll be prompted with a modal to unlock the site for either 5m or 15m

  3. 💸 If you ever pass your daily limit, you get locked out of your site + you are asked to pay the penalty you specified!

Hope this helps with your YouTube / Facebook / Reddit addiction! :)
