I keep finding flights for €20–30, only to realize later that the airport is far outside the city and getting to the center costs another €20–30 (or more).

By the time I factor in the transfer cost and the extra travel time, the "cheap" flight often isn't that cheap anymore.

Does anyone else end up Googling "Airport X to city center" every single time they're comparing flights?

I'm curious if this is just me, or if other people have the same problem. If enough people do, I'm thinking about building a browser extension that shows the estimated transfer cost and travel time directly on flight search websites, so you can see the real cost of your trip before booking.

Would you actually use something like that?

I noticed I'd type a URL, or my hand would just click a bookmark, and I'd already be scrolling before I even registered I'd made a choice. Not doom-scrolling exactly — just autopilot. Open tab, dead time, close tab, repeat.

I tried the usual stuff: hard blockers, screen time limits, deleting the apps from my phone. They all failed the same way — either I disabled them within a week, or I just moved the habit to a different site they didn't cover.

What actually helped was something dumber: a few seconds of friction before the site opens. Not a block, just a pause — long enough that I have to actually decide "yes, I want this" instead of doing it on reflex.

One thing I noticed after a while: my autopilot moments aren't random, they're tied to specific times — right after lunch, or the second I sit down in the evening. So I ended up adding the ability to set different rules for different times of day (stricter during work hours, more relaxed after 8pm, that kind of thing), instead of one fixed rule all day.

I built a small extension for this (MindGate, if anyone's curious — everything stays local, no account, no tracking).

Genuinely curious though: has anything actually worked for you to break the "open site without deciding to" loop? Or did you just give up and accept it's how browsers work now?

Every time I needed an image I had to open Unsplash, find something, copy the URL, go back to Canva, paste it. Over and over.

So I built a small Chrome extension that adds a floating sidebar directly inside Canva — search Unsplash and Pexels without leaving your design, save favorites, open Pinterest for inspiration.

Free, no account needed. Just search "Image Finder for Canva" on the Chrome Web Store if you want to try it.

Would love honest feedback from actual Canva users.
