Idea #1

A chrome extension that adds "Download background for this element" as a right-click option.

Lily Doe®™️ @Vazkii

Need a chrome extension that adds "Download background for this element" as a right click option because I'm getting tired of cheeky ass web devs trying to prevent image downloads by making them into backgrounds

People are using workarounds like “inspect element” and grabbing it from the CSS or reloading the page and downloading it from the network tab.

This comes with a dark side that this can be used to download stock images.

Idea #2

A chrome extension that makes links on printed documents clickable.

Idea #3

A chrome extension that locks you out after scrolling X minutes without interaction.

Mauv @ThatsMauvelous

twitter is a invigorating experience when i am interacting -- but is unsatisfying when im just scrolling i would like a twitter client that only allowes me to spend X minutes passively scrolling w/o interacting before it locks me out for a while

I would market it as a productivity hack so people can get more out of their Twitter usage.
