Idea #1
A Chrome Extension That Enhances Readability for Dyslexic Users with Custom Text Spacing
It is sooo much easier for me to read as someone with dyslexia 😭by far my favorite typing quirk I’ve ever seenA Chrome extension that auto-adjusts text spacing, fonts, and contrast to make websites easier to read for dyslexic users and anyone struggling with dense layouts. Fully customizable, real-time adjustments without breaking site designs. Simple on/off toggle and profile-saving for different reading needs.

Idea #2
A Chrome Extension That Detects AI Hallucinations in o3 Outputs Using Gemini 2.5 Pro
O3 is my daily driver now, there’s something about it that feels genuinely different to the other models.
Like a professor that smokes crack so you need to watch out for the occasional hallucination but can handle some really in-depth convos.
Here’s to our crack smoking prof 🥂o3 (aka OpenAI’s o3-mini) is brilliant, but sometimes it talks kinda like a crack-smoking professor. This extension would fix that.
It would grab o3’s output as you’re working, fire it over to Gemini 2.5 Pro behind the scenes, and get a second opinion.
If Gemini spots anything fishy, contradictions, made-up facts, obvious BS, the extension would flag it right there with color highlights or a little pop-up confidence score.

Idea #3
A Chrome Extension That Simplifies Navigating San Francisco Municipal Codes for Civil Servants
Used ChatGPT today to build a SF Municipal Code Agent.
My goal is to make it easier for civil servants in SF to figure out to navigate the large volume of laws in the city so that they can accomplish their goals faster.
It was harder to build than I thought, but also a lot of fun!
I'm sure it isn't perfect but its an example of how LLMs can be used to improve the lives of civil servants as they work hard to make the city better.
Give it a try: https://chatgpt.com/g/g-680e80c4e9d881919a68079b46dc47b5-sf-municipal-code-agent
If you have suggestions on how I can improve it - let me know!Instead of digging through endless PDFs and confusing legalese, you just highlight any word or phrase on a webpage, and bam, the extension pops up the exact SF Municipal Code sections, breaks it down in plain English, and shows the real citations.
It would use an LLM like ChatGPT to translate the heavy legal talk into something you can actually use…
And double-check itself against a vetted database so you’re not making decisions based on bad info.

Idea #4
A Chrome Extension That Adds Audio Alerts to Prevent Trading Tilt
You can use Chrome developer tools to poke and peek around their client side front end. I was going to make a Chrome extension to add Audio to Tilt but haven’t gotten around to it.It would plug into trading platforms like ProjectX or TopstepX, watch your behavior, rapid trades, big losses, twitchy mouse movements, and fire off real-time audio cues when things start going sideways.
Calming tone if you’re getting antsy.
Warning sound if you’re about to do something dumb.
You could customize the sounds and tweak sensitivity settings so it fits your style, not the other way around.
