I'm working on a browser extension called Calm the Chaos that allows you to block news and distressing keywords around the internet. Sorta like @mutesky.app but for all sites.

After months, I'm finally ready to release it then DAMN, I gotta make promotional material.

Oh well, no time or talent.
This image represents an early, minimal promotional attempt for **Calm the Chaos**, a browser extension designed to block distressing keywords across the internet. It’s displayed on the Chrome Web Store interface, with a clean but unpolished and uninspired aesthetic. The key elements include: - **Title and Description**: A modest header with the extension’s name (*Calm the Chaos*), accompanied by a serene emoji. Tags like “Extension” and “Well-being” are shown, alongside a painfully empty stat of *"2 users."* - **Screenshots**: A couple of awkwardly framed screenshots of the extension’s settings panel and keyword blocks. They highlight features but lack cohesion or professional design. - **Overview Text**: A short, functional description explains the purpose: *"Tired of distressing news and controversial topics? Block it all."* The summary outlines basic features, including keyword filtering for platforms like Reddit, LinkedIn, YouTube, and more. Despite the clean format, the lack of visual finesse screams *“developer-made promo under time pressure.”* The absence of strong branding, eye-catching visuals, or polished messaging makes it feel more like a draft than a finished piece. It’s clear this was a labor of necessity rather than inspiration. While the functionality seems promising, the promotional effort is begrudging at best—like a cry for help wrapped in a valiant attempt.
