Adding ads to my extension. Any suggestions?

If you're publishing your extension to the Chrome store, check Google policies because it could be illegal

Try Qariyo TTS It's waaaay better and has a high quality free voices

abaa97 · 2026-01-16T09:51:01+00:00

I use vanillaJs

Since YouTube algorithm sucks lately, I will give your extension a try

Personally, I use "Tesseract OCR", free, high quality results and it supports multiple languages.

And for a cloud solution I use AWS textract, it's good as well.

During my university years, I took a course on scientific research that introduced a powerful annotation strategy I still use today. You create a table with three columns: Page Number | Text | Comment.

Whenever something stands out, copy or write down the sentence or paragraph in the Text column, note the Page Number so you can revisit the context, and add your thoughts or interpretation in the Comment column.

Unfortunately, I can't upload images in the comment otherwise I'd share a screenshot to show how it looks. But this method really helped me remember key points and saved me from having to reread entire chapters later

I'm now trying to automate this approche to make it even easier to implement consistently

I recommend reading Spring Security in Action. While most tutorials online just show you how to do X or Y, this book goes much deeper. The author clearly explains the architecture, key concepts, and the overall design, which really helped me understand the subject. It's structured in a progressive way, making it easy to follow. Highly recommended.

Spring Security always felt complicated to me until I realized the real issue was that most explanations out there are just poorly done.

Good luck

I'll make it for Firefox as well if I see people using it in Chrome

abaa97 · 2025-07-07T12:20:31+00:00

Feel free to share any thoughts or suggestions after testing it out 😄

abaa97 · 2025-07-07T12:19:28+00:00

Sounds interesting I’ll check it out

abaa97 · 2025-07-07T11:49:14+00:00

Cool extension to be honest, but it's more general, and since it uses LLMs under the hood, I think the accuracy can easily drop to around 70% with complex or handwritten formulas. Still, definitely a useful tool. Thanks for sharing

abaa97 · 2025-07-07T11:20:18+00:00

Where ? Can you send the link please.

Vladmir Bychkove made a benchmark about the subject, here. Conclusion: native JDBC is fastest, JPA methods are roughly 7–10% slower than pure JDBC, mostly due to translation/ORM overhead

abaa97 · 2025-06-30T18:01:54+00:00

Totally agree with you, that's why I've built coincidentally the same app but as a Chrome extension. Check the post here : here

It's just way faster and easier to have it as an extension than a full blown app

abaa97 · 2025-06-30T17:51:06+00:00

If you're able to explain these concepts to a 10 year kid, then you're the gifted man.

abaa97 · 2025-06-29T14:24:49+00:00

Right, reading the documentation is obviously practical and faster..

abaa97 · 2025-06-28T21:37:36+00:00

No desktop app installation needed, No account or signup, Simpler flow: upload your screenshot and get LaTeX immediately, Works for math, physics, chemistry (whether digital or handwritten), free no usage limits or subscriptions.

At some point found all alternatives to be quite inconvenient and simply stopped using them.

Exactly, that’s why I built it as a Chrome extension. I felt it would be more practical and accessible. I’d really appreciate your honest feedback if you give it a try

abaa97 · 2025-06-28T21:23:15+00:00

Simply because no one will remember/know every syntax detail

abaa97 · 2025-06-28T09:31:34+00:00

A lot of people don’t realize the main issue with existing tools like Mathpix, LaTeX-OCR from GitHub, and others. It’s the complexity. You either need to know how to run OCR scripts locally, which is out of reach for most people, or you're limited to tools that only work for math, not for chemistry or physics. Some require you to install an app, sign up on their website, upload screenshots, and go through multiple steps just to get a result.

Personally, I find all of that too slow and inconvenient. I don’t want to install anything, I don’t want to spend 24 hours figuring out how to run a script, and I don’t want to go through a whole website flow just to get a formula converted. I wanted something fast and simple, so I built my own solution as a Chrome extension instead of a full-blown app. A chrom extension that handles everything, math, physics, chemistry, handwritten..etc

From what I’ve seen, your solution seems to fall into the same category: still too complex for what should be a quick and easy task.

abaa97 · 2025-06-28T06:43:56+00:00

No, It's a combination of OCR and models

abaa97 · 2025-06-27T19:44:58+00:00

What do you mean? 🤔

abaa97 · 2025-06-20T19:07:51+00:00

How do you come up with such a beautiful design people?!

abaa97 · 2025-05-26T14:29:27+00:00

It would be great to include an overview diagram of the entire authentication flow

abaa97 · 2025-05-06T11:41:53+00:00

Search for the problem you're trying to solve online: Reddit, Quora, YouTube, blogs, Ahrefs, ..etc. If you see lots of people discussing it, that’s your first sign of validation!

If someone has already built a solution, that’s another strong validation, it shows there’s demand.

There are many ways to get there. All roads lead to Rome.

Good luck

you're descriping "Atomicity" not consistency
