I made a tiny Chrome extension that remembers where you stopped scrolling

I kept running into a small but annoying problem:

I would be reading a long article, documentation page, research paper, or Reddit thread, close the tab, come back later — and have to find where I stopped again.

So I built Scroll Memory, a small Chrome extension that remembers your scroll position and brings you back to where you left off.

The idea is intentionally simple:

  • Remembers where you stopped on a page
  • Restores your position when you return
  • Useful for long articles, documentation, papers, tutorials, etc.
  • First 5 restores each month are free
  • $1/month if you actually find it useful

I’m experimenting with a simple idea:

Can very small software solve problems that are annoying enough to be worth $1?

I’d especially like to know:

Would you actually use something like this?

And if not, what would make it useful enough for you?

I made a Chrome extension that calculates how much money you make while slacking at work

I had a stupid idea:

If you're going to procrastinate at work anyway, you might as well know how much you're getting paid for it.

So I made Paycheck Stealer, a tiny Chrome extension that tracks your slacking time and estimates how much money you've earned while doing absolutely nothing productive.

It's intentionally ridiculous. 😅

I mostly built it as a small experiment to see whether people actually enjoy these stupid little $1 extensions.

Would you actually use something like this?

Any ideas for making it even more unnecessarily stupid are welcome.

Free to try → $1 one-time unlock if you want to keep using it.

Why are we still locking video subtitles to the bottom of the screen in 2026?

I’ve always wondered why most video platforms don’t let us customize where the subtitles sit. When studying or multitasking, having text stuck at the very bottom isn't always ideal.

To solve my own frustration, I put together a simple extension called **Floating Subtitles v1.0**.

It unbinds the text and makes it fully draggable across your browser window. I kept the design completely minimal so it feels native to any video player you use.

It’s already approved and public on the store. It currently has only 3 downloads because I haven't shared it with anyone yet. If you are a heavy video watcher or online learner, hopefully this little tool can make your screen layout a bit more comfortable.
