Comment on My Chrome Extension DistractionBlocker

Comments

Any thoughts on this / ideas for expansion would be awesome

Suggestions:

1) The icon needs some work. Not sure what you're trying to represent.

2) When you click enable/disable in the popup menu, the menu should automatically disappear. You shouldn't have to click again to dismiss it.

3) If while you have the extension disabled you load a page in your blocked list, then enable the extension, then refresh the page, the page doesn't get blocked.

Awesome feedback. I know the over all design (including the icon) needs a lot of work, and an upcoming update should include that. In this update I will work on the automatic disappear.

The refresh thing has to do with the way chrome handles this event. I'm working on a work around for it right now.

An "Allow for X minutes" feature would be awesome. That way I'd never have to disable it, I could just give myself small breaks every so often.

This is in the works right now.
