Introducing the New Tab Page
Ashdeck's latest update brings you a personalized digital workspace designed to help you start every session with clarity, focus, motivation and organized through out the whole day… every time you open a tab.
It's not just a new tab—it’s a subtle shift toward intentional living in a noisy digital world.
If your tabs could talk, they’d say “thank you.”
Hey everyone, welcome to my little build-in-public update on Ashdeck. Balancing a full-time job with a side project is no walk in the park—especially when juggling coding, marketing, and a never-ending stream of distractions. Today, I wanted to share some of the small wins and honest struggles along the way.
Featured Badge on the Chrome Web Store
Today, I finally got the "Featured" badge on the Chrome Web Store. It’s more of an essential checkmark that shows Ashdeck meets Chrome’s best practices for design, functionality, and user experience. It’s one of those necessary steps that tells me I'm on the right track.
Waiting on Domain Verification
Next up on my list is getting the domain verification badge. I’m just waiting for that to pop up, and it feels like every little update—no matter how small—adds to the momentum of this journey. Each step, whether big or small, keeps me moving forward.
The Daily Hustle: Code, Distractions, and Tweaks
Some days, I'm deep in code, feeling unstoppable and on fire. Other days, I find myself tweaking my website design for the hundredth time or falling into an endless scroll on Twitter. Sound familiar? Balancing these priorities isn’t always easy, but it’s all part of the process.
Small Win: 34 Users and a Big Goal
One modest but exciting milestone I want to share is that Ashdeck now has 34 users. It might seem like a small number, but every single user makes a huge difference. It’s a reminder that progress is progress, no matter how incremental. With that in mind, I’m setting my sights on reaching 100 users by the end of February. It’s a stretch goal, but every new user fuels my determination to keep pushing forward.
What’s Next?
I’m still working on streamlining Ashdeck and making it even better for you. This journey is all about those everyday wins and learning from the challenges. I truly appreciate every bit of support, feedback, and encouragement from this amazing community.

Cheers,
I used to be that person—sitting in front of my laptop, ready to code or work on my side projects, and then suddenly, endless tabs and distractions would take over. One moment I was planning to dive into deep work, and the next I was lost in social media or YouTube rabbit holes. Hours would vanish, and my to-do list would be a constant reminder of what I hadn’t achieved.
I realized that if I was going to succeed as an indie hacker, I needed to work smarter—not just harder. That’s when the idea for Ashdeck was born.
What is Ashdeck?
Ashdeck is a free, open-source Chrome extension I built to help anyone regain control of their day. It blocks out the distractions that keep me from doing what matters, letting me focus on building, coding, or creating without falling into the endless scroll.
Why did I build it?
-Regain control of your time: No more losing hours to mindless browsing.
-Stay focused: Work in bursts of productivity and truly make progress on your projects.
