A browser extension to customize your highlight color and adding effects to spice it up
Need to ship quick to not miss the deadline though ahhhh

This project uses AI

Just to get some insight on the newest “standards” (I call them that, but it’s just modern designing refresh) for the extensions to look good enough while still being minimal at its core

Whoops it appears that the rainbow mode (aka the main feature of this add-on) had an oversight on the refresh frequency of the color gradient, before modification it was set to refresh at a rate of 60 fps, and that caused a massive CPU usage, which I have now fixed by making the gradient transition frame rate to be 25 (like in most movies, although i know movies are more like 24.9).
I also have fixed another oversight with the color of the highlighted text dynamic range, the old one was unsuitable so i tuned it to be most readable in every situations, demo attached down here:
Also, time to ship!!

EDIT: I didnt knew the deadline was pushed back to the 4th of april, i have time to polish it more, yay

Before edit: Too bad I didn’t properly log my working time but oh well, soooo I have finished refactoring my old crumbly extension I had made a couple of years ago to give me a coolness factor in class with my atypical highlighting colors and effects, I’m pretty sure I’m done with it, at least it’s good enough to ship imo since it was a really light extension project from the beginning and I hope you will like it just as much as I did while having it back then (even now ahah)
