Idea #1
A Chrome extension that turns ‘mailto:’ links into a copied email address

Idea #2
A Chrome extension that moves people who don't follow you back into a private list and then unfollows them
Lesgooo, finally done :D
After a full 4-5hour grind(ig), was able to complete this 🫡
Made this Chrome extension.. which injects scripts to automate this whole process step by step.
Just one manual effort is needed to create a list (I almost spent 2hours trying to automate this too.. but didn't work out, then thought of making what is required first)
I've attached a demo video too (no sound/music, as I'm on a train and also my OBS kinda gave up on me)
steps:
0. obviously - load the extension
(I'll try to put it on the chrome extension store soon)
1. create a new list with the exact name: "Didn't follow back RIP"
(you can change later on..)
2. Open the chrome extension and click on "Start automation"
3. Let the magic happen 🪄
(.. as you enjoy watching it for a few minutes and then it gets boring)

Couldn't find a name/logo or anything to suit this. For now, it's just a simple vanilla js script that gets the work done.. as that was the goal, will try to update those soon
Pros:
- Doesn't use the super pricey X API so it's FREE of cost for anyone to run it
Cons:
- Need to keep the tab open and cannot interfere with it
- Code is *very* crap, I tried to learn and build it so .. (but the user doesn't care, con for me)
It was my first time using and getting to know more about chrome APIs and all this stuff, so had a pretty amazing time trying out this challenge!
I am traveling in a train with a very unstable connection so was pretty bored and then I remembered to make this.
As was very unsatisfied by the chatgpt X API reply that I gave to this tweet yesterday after 15mins of playing around.
Have fun clearing your following into a list 😁

Idea #4
A Chrome extension that turns a favicon into a peephole feed from my front door
I had a really specific dream where I made a browser extension that turned a web app's favicon into a peephole feed from my front door so I could see people arrive via favicons
