Introducing FocusFlux: A Free Chrome Extension to Enhance Your Productivity
In today’s digital age, distractions are everywhere. From social media notifications to endless browsing, staying focused during work hours can be a challenge. Recognizing this common struggle, I developed a simple yet effective solution: FocusFlux, a free Chrome extension designed to block distracting websites and help users maintain their concentration.
The Genesis of FocusFlux
The idea for FocusFlux originated from a personal need to create a distraction-free environment while working online. Frustrated by the lack of free, customizable tools that could effectively block specific sites, I decided to develop my own. Leveraging the power of AI-driven coding assistance, I built the extension entirely using GitHub Copilot, which significantly accelerated the development process and helped craft an intuitive user interface.
Building the Extension
Using GitHub Copilot was a rewarding experience. It provided code suggestions that streamlined the development process, allowing me to focus on core functionality and user experience. The result is an extension that is straightforward to install and easy to configure, making it accessible for users of all levels.
Key Features
