Behind the work

Built close to the problem.

I see problems as invitations. Most of these extensions started with a single frustrating moment inside Chrome: a blank compose box, an API that refused to reveal itself, a form about to leak a secret, a workflow that demanded one too many manual clicks. I don't chase complexity for its own sake. My best ideas come from removing steps, not adding them.
