I swear I was just going to focus on the main story and ignore the card games this time. Two hours later, I'm wandering around White Orchard trying to buy every single Gwent card available. Does anyone actually manage to skip Gwent?

Dealing with MV3 service workers randomly dying was a nightmare during my recent extension build.

Here is a quick workaround I used to keep the background tasks alive when processing data:

1. Do not use setInterval or setTimeout in your background script (Chrome kills them instantly when idle).
2. Use chrome.alarms API to wake up the service worker just before it goes to sleep.
3. Keep state in chrome.storage.session instead of global variables, so when the worker wakes back up, it picks up exactly where it left off.

Hope this saves someone the hours I lost debugging this.

Hey everyone,

I'm a solo developer. I recently built a general marketing app and quickly realized that competing against VC-backed teams with 24/7 support is a losing battle for a one-man army.

I want to pivot. My new strategy is to build micro-apps: doing ONE hyper-specific thing perfectly, with zero bloat, likely for around $5/mo.

I have absolutely nothing to sell yet. I'm just doing raw market research.

I want to know: What is a specific, tedious problem in your daily operations, and which existing app is currently overcharging you or failing to solve it properly? (Please drop the actual app name if you can, it helps me research their negative reviews to see what they missed).

Could be related to:

• Clunky variant/product page displays
• Illogical localized shipping rules
• Specific customer tagging & segmenting

If you share a pain point, I might just build the fix for you. Thanks for the raw feedback.
