I recently started a project called best web extension https://bestwebextension.com/

Basically attempting to modernize a lot of browser extension which I have been using since like a decade ago. Some of them are outdated and unmaintained and some were good for the time.

The project is MIT licensed.


I wasn't aware of Tailscale Funnel, but I'll give it a try. It was easy to set up since I already have a lot of things on Cloudflare.


Hey, earlier it was going into Manage and unchecking the Google Analytics. I realized that was a bad design and have it updated now. Now, you can simply reject the cookies :)


Impactful? Not sure but I'm proud about it.

In high school I started a private torrent tracker with open source projects. At the time I was pretty new to programming and was gluing things together and slowly after years I started getting a lot of traffic. I was getting good at programming as well, forked the project multiple features addition, dedicated servers and just doing it all.

It used get a daily 1 million visits with 4-5k unique visits every day and slowly we breached the top 25 websites in our country and somewhere around under ~10k in Alexa ranking. But that's when things started getting a bit heated, I had to be more cautious about my footprint and what started something as hobby consuming a lot of my energy.

I really liked it but the fact that I couldn't talk or share about it to anyone was a bummer. I just had it, made a lot of money while I was in school blew it all up quickly but only a handful of irl people knew.


what a chad
