Dedistract

Stupid simple site "blocker" Chrome extension. "blocker" is in quotes because you can still use the sites, you just have to click and hold on a message for 10s, which should help kill your muscle memory for opening up Reddit, Hacker News, or your Facebook feed.

Installation instructions

  1. Download this extension as a zip file
  2. Unzip it
  3. Go to chrome://extensions via the Chrome URL bar
  4. Click the "Load unpacked extension..." button
  5. Select the unzipped folder created in step 2

The source is simple enough that you should be able to read the whole thing in about 5 minutes. < 100 lines excluding jQuery. You can replace the jQuery with your own if you're super paranoid :)

To customize the message, edit the message at the top of shared.js.

Comes with builtin blocking of Reddit, Hacker News, Twitter, Facebook news feed (still allows access to chat), and a bunch of stuff on YouTube.
