PuzzleBlocker

Source repo for PuzzleBlocker Chrome extension

Edit: Decided to make the project open source. Why? Maybe someone wants to customize this tool to fit their personal productivity habits...

Learned many lessons building this thing, hopefully there is some wisdom for other browser extension makers in this 🤓

Run

1. npm run watch - builds the extension into /distribution, watches for changes
2. web-ext run in distribution folder (starts firefox)

You can also test this in Chrome, Opera, Edge. Consult the docs
