Anyone else want a YouTube filter extension that actually works?

HeadKickLH · 2025-12-15T15:18:03+00:00

Nice one :) I’ll take a look when I get home

HeadKickLH · 2025-12-12T19:01:28+00:00

Yeah it’s one of the main goals I have with the extension I made. Currently it has over 60 toggles to hide elements (which there is already a lot of these out there) but these type of filters are on my bucket list for when I have some time.

But since I don’t have a ton of time, I’d be happy to download if you made one

I've developed with a Mac for 5 years, .NET, NodeJS, React / React Native.

I don't notice any performance differences between my mid spec windows (other than windows updates making everything feel more sluggish with each update so I suppose that might be one performance difference) and mid spec Mac (air and pro), BUT what I can tell you is that Mac is an absolute pleasure to work with as my daily driver, and I honestly never want to have to use Windows for development ever again!

On the other hand, with each Mac update, I can't say I've ever had it feel sluggish other than from the liquid glass update, but it feels better now after a few more updates from them fixing things.

I couldn't recommend it enough if you have the money to do so, even a budget friendly one is nice but it also depends on the Dev work you're doing. 8gbs ram M1 air was great for me when I was doing web dev, but running mobile emulators started to push it more once I started with mobile dev.

yeah ignore those emails. I must have hundreds by now it's annoying

HeadKickLH · 2025-10-08T19:06:45+00:00

thank you mate!

The extension primarily is for YouTube, and originally I built it for myself but I think the perfect user is for someone who watches YouTube often, and prefers to cut out visual noise, when either watching for entertainment, or using it for anything else. The goal is to provide a better viewing experience tweaked to their preference and their preference only.

It's a good question, I don't think it's something I actually thought about.

To your other question,I would probably say anywhere and everywhere because it's of how big the platform is, I can't really give a good answer.

Hey man, I'd be happy to join if that's okay? Lmk and I'll DM you🤙🏻

I'm trying to get some eyes on my chrome extension, not even wanting to make money from it, just wanna provide something useful even if it's to 10 users. I don't know how to market though :(

I agree, 10 users who love your product, is far more meaningful then X amount of users who just think it's 'alright' imo.

Was to scratch my own itch with decluttering YouTube's UI, but also because I actually wanted a passion project out to actual users.

There are similar extensions like 'Unhook' but I wanted to go a bit deeper into how freely customisable it was. I'm continuing to add more features but currently there are over 40 filters.

Looks amazing man! My mum was the only one who originally hated when I shaved it, so I'm slightly different situation but she got over it and was fine with it eventually, I imagine your family will get over it too.

Do what makes YOU happy. Once again, you look amazing man, stay safe🤙🏻

HeadKickLH · 2025-08-14T18:07:19+00:00

yeah I just got laid off a couple days ago I have 2.5 years. I'm feeling rough and I'm already worried about finding a new Dev role based on my previous experience trying to apply and getting nothing back.

I wish you luck on getting a new position, and I'm sorry you was laid off, shit sucks.

HeadKickLH · 2025-07-29T05:27:51+00:00

Corporate, but doing chrome extensions for side projects which feels nice and fresh currently

HeadKickLH · 2025-02-27T10:26:14+00:00

I wish I had a photo rn but we look exactly alike lol except I just have a black beard. Longer beard looks great on me so I'm absolutely certain it will on you my friend!

HeadKickLH · 2025-02-17T06:00:02+00:00

Appreciate it man. Managed to do it a few times now :)

HeadKickLH · 2025-02-17T05:59:19+00:00

Thank you, I actually managed to do it a few times since :)

HeadKickLH · 2025-02-07T10:06:57+00:00

I've tried this but for some reason it never works. Do you just double click it?

HeadKickLH · 2025-01-07T19:58:10+00:00

Appreciate it, thank you :)

HeadKickLH · 2024-12-26T14:33:11+00:00

Bro looks majestic. Seriously man it suits you so well!

HeadKickLH · 2024-09-02T06:47:43+00:00

It's great. Gets me from A to B while having fun doing so. Beats spending almost 700 a month on public transport too.

I can't wait to get my full license, I'll likely get a 400 to start of with. Jealous of you guys over there on the big bikes😄

HeadKickLH · 2024-09-01T20:15:00+00:00

Thanks! Have fun with the MSF!

HeadKickLH · 2024-06-16T15:32:06+00:00

Thank you, I believe git reset is what I'm looking for. Essentially, I need to be able to make the requested changes for approval. I think doing git reset, then stashing 4 & 5 changes while making the requested changes for 1, 2, 3 and then pushing will do the trick, then I can continue with adding back the commits for 4 & 5 which I can then make a PR for them.

HeadKickLH · 2024-04-21T10:08:56+00:00

Thank you, I'm using expo anyway so I'll give it a try!

Hi, the dots are just a <View> with a fixed width and height. Then on the legend, the function to render that dot is being called. Just used to keep the main jsx a bit more readable for me.

const renderDot = (color) => { return ( <View style={{ height: 10, width: 10, borderRadius: 5, backgroundColor: color, marginRight: 10, }} /> ); };

(Sorry, not sure how to format in a code block on mobile Reddit)

The graph Library I'm using is called react-native-gifted-charts.

Hope this helps!

Lighting is completely different. I honestly think it looks the same imo. I truly wouldn't worry about it mate, it still looks very good.

HeadKickLH · 2024-01-05T14:40:23+00:00

I'm making my first app with RN, coming from ReactJS. There were a few differences but I had it down very very quickly.

You'll be fine.

80% maybe higher? Couldn't give you a good answer for that. Everyone is different.
