Introducing the free Safari extension FindTheMadness

from blog The Desolation of Blog, 6 Jul 2020 | ↗ original

JavaScript in a web browser is mostly invisible, for better or worse. When my paid extension StopTheMadness is working, you mostly don't notice it, and that's the point. My good JavaScript in the extension prevents bad JavaScript in web pages from affecting users. The value of StopTheMadness is obvious when you install it and some annoying web behavior immediately stops. However, the ongoing value of the extension is less obvious, since it Just Works™, as the saying goes. This is not a worry for StopTheMadness customers, who seem quite happy according to feedback and reviews, but it is a worry for me as the developer of the extension, and a user. In fact it started as a personal project for my own use. It just works for me too, and it has for a long time, so the question is how can I market the extension if I can't explain to people what specific problems it solves? The irony is that my problems are already solved. I've often joked that I should randomly disable StopTheMadness to show people what they'd miss without it. (Don't worry, I won't actually do this!)

This is a short summary. ↗ Open original to view full content
