flavortown is saying goodbye on april 30, and this makes it a really bittersweet moment. i want to thank you for being part of this journey, for using the extension, sharing feedback, and helping it become something special.

what started as a small idea turned into something i’ll always remember, and i’m truly grateful for every bit of support along the way. while this chapter is coming to an end, i’m looking forward to new adventures ahead.
goodbye, flavortown. thanks for the memories, and here’s to what comes next.

ship note: devlog might look short, but this is because i accidentally messed up the earlier build and recreated the project from scratch.

in this rebuild, the extension ships the core stuff: true-black flavortown theme, instant popup toggle, smoother page transitions, and saved dark mode preference with cleaner session ping behavior.(finally image hover effect for store products…)
