Sunset over the olive groves of Crete | DJI Mini 3 Pro (No color grading) [OC]
I shot this video last August during my vacation in Crete. The sunsets there are magnificent and I wanted to immortalize it. I really loved this flight, and I think the result is splendid with the mountains, the sea, and the reflection of the sun. I just love this landscape and I hope you'll like the video.
Regarding the gear, it was shot with my DJI Mini 3 Pro, without any ND filters. The video hasn't been edited or color-graded at all, I wanted to share it exactly as it is. Hope you enjoy it. The music is just there to match the vibe I felt while flying.
I built an in-browser "Extreme Focus Mode" with zero coding experience because standalone apps were too easy to ignore. I’d love your feedback!
Hi everyone,
Quick disclaimer: I’m a French developer and I struggle a bit with English spelling, so please forgive any mistakes! I've attached a short video to show you Kumo in action.
I just launched my very first extension on the Web Store, and I wanted to share the journey with this community.
The Problem: During my law studies, I relied heavily on focus apps like Forest. But over time, I realized a major flaw in my workflow: if I am getting distracted by opening new tabs in Chrome, my site-blocker needs to be directly inside Chrome too, not on my phone where it's too easy to ignore.
Today, as I run my own small business from home and prepare to start a new administrative job this September, I still face that same battle with distractions being just one click away.
The Build Journey: I decided to build my own alternative, but I had absolutely no coding skills. I built this entire extension from scratch by watching tutorials and using modern tools to teach myself how to code. It took me months of juggling my day job and personal life to figure out how to make a Chrome extension actually work, set up a database, and integrate a payment system. I even had to change the extension's name on day one because of a conflict with another dev!
The Extension (Kumo - Focus Companion): I wanted a strict timer paired with a visual reward that actually calms me down.
- In-Browser Blocking: It actively blocks your customized list of distracting websites right where you work.
- Gamification & Calm Aesthetic: I am passionate about marine life. When you complete a deep work session, you earn XP, level up, and unlock pixel-art marine creatures (starting with Kumo, a little shark) and new underwater backgrounds.
Shipping this solo was a mountain to climb. Now that it's live, I’d love to get feedback from fellow extension enthusiasts.
- Does the site-blocking feature feel intuitive?
- Are there any obvious bugs I missed during my solo testing?
Full transparency: The core focus timer, site blocker, and leveling system are completely free. I added a small cosmetic shop for specific skins to help fund the project, but you can use the main productivity tool entirely for free.
