TLDR power user work out tracker, all PRs, metrics, fast keypad input or codemirror syntax input if you're lazy type that jots in notepad. Generate any exercise based on movement + modifer system. Mountan of metrics (your basic lifitng stuff), rolling averages etc. Fractional set tracking, bodypart volume... too much to list. Build and import programs using syntax.

Lazy overview while I work on docs.

Looking for users to stress test at some point, but feel free to play around.

Youtube sub list viewer + Youtube TV scheduler

Setup a little finicky, have to do via google sheet / appscript to access use your youtube API quota.

Build and share custom youtube TV stations.

I mainly use the primary table view, you can double sort columns, middle click title column to queue a playlist based on how table is sorted, it'll generate playlist for X minutes, modified by playback speed, skipwatched filled etc, very useful for staying up to date with your own subs. Nominal fee for syncing between devices.

Recovering from snapcity, been increasing my productive procrastination pipeline. Some stuff I knocked out in the last few months.

A few extensions:

Find threads on hacknews and reddit https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/mrd-thread-search-h...

Track New Comments and Keyworks on hacknews and old reddit https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/mrd-comment-control...

Autocopy for my TTS pipeline https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/mrd-regex-autocopy/...

Give them a go, I have a few more that I can't publish because I don't have enough users. Help a brother out, need more slots so I can push other extensions and use cloud sync.
