A simple extension to boost productivity by blocking social media sites during study/work hours. You can download the extension here.
A Chrome Extension to boost productivity by blocking social media sites during study/work hours. Users have the option to select/deselect which websites they choose to block. They also have the ability to turn off the blocker, keep it always on or follow an automatic schedule (aka the user's study/working hours).
Often times while I'm studying, I procastinate and wander off to social media sites such as Instagram, Netflix and YouTube. To increase productivy and stop me from procastinating, I wanted to create an app that would block me from going to such sites during certain hours. As such, I decided to create my own Chrome Extension that would solve my problem.
The extension uses a JavaScript backend alongside Chrome Storage Sync API to save user preferences across all devices. It also utilizes a frontend developed using HTML, CSS and JS.
