Snow flake web extension

A web extension that adds falling snowflakes to web pages with many customization options.
I wanted a extension that brings falling snow to every site, so I made one!

Shipped this project!

The tester didn’t realize they had to click ‘save’ to apply the settings, so I changed it to auto-apply. They also couldn’t see the snow because they had ‘snow behind content’ turned on, which causes the snow to be hidden on sites like GitHub. To fix this, I made the feature automatically disable on sites where it doesn’t work properly(that I found).

I made it so settings are now applied automatically. I also disabled the ‘snow behind content’ feature on certain sites (like GitHub.com) because the feature isn’t working on all sites.

Some final touches nothing big.

While making this extension I learned a lot about creating web extensions.

I still want to upload the extension to the chrome web store, but sadly that costs money.

I made/uploaded a demo site where you can see the extension before you install it.
I already made the extension before I installed Hackatime, so all that time isn’t tracked :(
Hope you enjoy the extension!
