I enjoyed the article, but I’m skeptical of the “democratize via hardware + networking” path. Most people won’t run a Pi, manage updates/backups, or debug home networking, and that’s fine (as you note). But I do think we’re reaching a

Awesome! If you run into any other issues feel free to email me at contact@trynextbyte.com or join our discord server ( https://www.tweeks.io/discord ). Always looking for more feedback to improve :)

Ah I see what happened. From those links, I can see the pattern for the script is *://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=* . Some browsers don't support the wildcard (*) in the query param, so it would be better if that match

Glad you're enjoying it! > how much effort did you put in to acquire it, and what made you decide to pursue it? We originally started looking into it when we were in the B2B space. On our end, we already took security pretty serious

While building this, we've had to do a lot of debugging. You think "Hey, this is a pretty simple request, why did it fail?" Then you actually dig into the archive that is 98 files of HTML, JS, and CSS, inlined and minified

I tried "Make this page look like the 2004 version of CNN" and it did update the theming to be older but it didn't have the true reference, so it just made up the old style. We don't currently have a way to provide a ref

Totally hear you on the permissions/access. I'd love to request fewer permissions, but the chrome store doesn't support that kind of permissions granting. In order for us to be able to execute your scripts that do powerful th

I've also noticed the fragmentation of the ecosystem. There is still some powerful stuff out there, but it is hard to find and UX has a lot of room for improvement (especially for laypeople). Part of the fragmentation (on the extension

For standard greasemonkey / tampermonkey features (install, modify, enable/disable), no sign in is required. Sign in enables you to generate new scripts. This relies on LLMs and costs us money so we having auth helps us prevent ba

There are a few things that could have happened: 1. Maybe the domain matching missed? You can check this by going to the library tab and seeing if it appears in "Modifications for Current Page" when you're on the site. 2. May

You may be right but gotta start somewhere :) We launched now because we're satisfied that the current version can be a useful tool for people. But we definitely plan to keep iterating and improving!

That's the goal! This whole project started because I was originally just asking ChatGPT to write userscripts. For generic ones, it was okay, but the feedback loop was slow: I had to save the page archive, manually feed it to LLM, writ

The script is generated once and then persists across reload. There is no AI running continuously.

Your very own custom focus mode is only one prompt away :) And it it doesn't work for you, let me know and I'll get it sorted.

Great comment, I've thought a lot about similar ideas. We're just getting started with sharing + discoverability and already working on a feature to surface popular modifications for a given page you are visiting. The hardest part

Could you share more about the dark pattern? That's definitely not my intent. No sign in is required for installing/managing scripts, sign up is only required to generate scripts (and that's because without it, there's n
