we build browser extensions that work

@Kubai087 where it gets interesting is past ~30 tabs. the strip either caps at the last N (you lose the long tail) or it scrolls, which kills the alt-tab speed that's the whole point. where'd you land on the cutoff?

@ehasan28 the clean way to do pixel-accurate picking is the native EyeDropper API, no content script, no host permissions, the browser just hands you the pixel under the cursor. way less access than a canvas-grab approach. you on the native one?

@Taboxapp @blakebha a tab list maps what you're working on, clients, research, half-built side projects. once it syncs through Drive and collections are shareable, "private" is really who can read that file. are the synced collections encrypted at rest, or plain JSON in the user's Drive?

Half the extensions I installed when I started building in 2023 are gone now. One got sold. One got pulled. Most just quietly stopped updating. The few still here never needed an account. Nothing to log into, nothing to lose when the company walks away.

@Jay_Katana @Scobleizer @Gavel_on_X the catch: X doesn't expose "last active." any tool guesses it from last-post date, which flags the lurkers who read daily and never post. an extension on your own session can filter on that and clear them, rate-limited. we build X Unfollow Pro for exactly that.

@BrettFromDJ saving the inspo is the easy half. everyone's got a bookmark graveyard they never open twice. if GatherOS makes you go back to the pile, that's the part with teeth.

That's why we've built X Followers Exporter, a chrome browser extension, that allows you to export your X following and followers lists off the platform. We also have one for Instagram.

Your account gets locked on a Tuesday. No warning, no human to email. The 4,000 people who followed you over three years? Gone. The only copy of that list lived inside the platform.

Export them to CSV while the account's healthy. Boring file, cheapest insurance you'll keep.

@shankarnanda26 "what to fix" is where a local audit usually leaks. scoring on-device is easy; generating the fix advice is the step that tends to call an API. is that part local too, or does the profile text leave for it?

@accuratetlm13 the gap is that Lighthouse hands you symptoms, not causes. a 4s LCP could be a hero image, render-blocking JS, or slow TTFB, and the fix is different each time. turning that into agent instructions lives or dies on the metric-to-cause mapping. how are you bridging it?

"Bring your own key" sounds private. Then the extension routes your key and prompts through its own server.

Now your key sits on the maker's box, and every prompt passes through it.

Open the network tab. If the request doesn't go straight to the provider, BYOK is just a word.

@jacssp no-server invites one more question: recovery. lose the device and the vault goes with it, no cloud copy to restore. an encrypted export the user holds is the honest fix, but it puts backup discipline on them. worth saying next to 'zero cloud'

[PlugMonkey | Browser Tools That Work @PlugMonkeyXYZ]

@acid_very @ruralidyll yeah, the safe way is a browser extension that runs on your own logged-in session and rate-limits the unfollows, so X doesn't flag it as botting. skip anything that wants your password or routes through their server. we build X Unfollow Pro for exactly this

[PlugMonkey | Browser Tools That Work @PlugMonkeyXYZ]

@curiously729 a blocker lives or dies on how annoying it is to switch off, enough friction to outlast the urge. that's the part no model builds for you

[PlugMonkey | Browser Tools That Work @PlugMonkeyXYZ]

@HimanshuRWD 'everything about x' hands the model the scoping call, so each fill carries more than the field needs. tie the prompt to the one field and you stay the one deciding what leaves. matters more the second someone fills something private

@john23ee @CodeWithSravya the matching is the hard part. "same problem, same minute" is a tiny pool, you'll often be the only one on it. loosening it to same topic or difficulty keeps the room from being empty, which is what kills these the fastest. how are you handling an empty match?

[PlugMonkey | Browser Tools That Work @PlugMonkeyXYZ]

@mxxfun bookmarks pile up because saving costs nothing. a daily resurface adds a cost to ignoring it. that's the lever.

[PlugMonkey | Browser Tools That Work @PlugMonkeyXYZ]

@ximihoque The graph is where it gets interesting. The second a session is reusable across every tool you've connected, it's only as private as the leakiest app on that list. Is sync opt-in per session, or does anything you capture flow to xysq by default once it's linked?

@prabhu_ai A half-typed form has no audio and no network, so none of your checks can see it. No clean API for a dirty-form state either. Cheapest fix: reset the idle timer on any keystroke, so a tab you're typing in never ages out.
