Overview
Browse distracting websites with intention.
«With Intention» is a Chrome extension that helps you browse the web more intentionally. By simply stating your intention of selected websites every time you visit them, mindless browsing of distracting websites can be reduced and turned into a more mindful experience. 📚 Background To help you avoid distracting websites, some extensions blacklist entire websites. But, this doesn't work if you need to look something up now and then. For this reason I am a big fan of DK's 'Intention' extension [1], which instead of blacklisting websites, 'unlocks' them for a certain period of time. In my daily work though, this created a lot of friction because estimating and unlocking time periods distracted me from the actual work. «With Intention» is essentially a reduction of DK's extension: by simply and only writing down the intention when visiting certain websites, intentional working is reinforced and accidental mindless browsing is reduced. The extension is open source and hosted on GitHub [2]. 🔗 Links [1] https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/intention-stop-mindless-b/dladanhaondcgpahgiflodhckhoeohoe [2] https://github.com/alexwidua/with-intention

Plays and pauses the videos, subtitles get turned on and off, audio mutes, and sometimes it takes me back to the homepage. So it'd be great if we could stop the keypresses from doing anything in the ba... Show more

Thank you for making this! It is exactly what I was looking for. I'd only ask for one more feature. The ability to block via website URL ending. Right now I can block "Reddit.com" and the extension will block all subdomains, such as "Reddit.com/r/funny" I would like to be able to do the same thing on tumblr, but the website URL structure is different there. I.e., "BLOG.tumblr.com". So I'd like to be able to block "*.tumblr.com". No worries if you don't get around to it, the extension is p... Show more
