A Story from Being Laid Off to Building a Few Extensions

A few months ago, I got laid off. Nothing special: company cut costs, I was on the list.

At first I was a bit lost, but then I thought: alright, let’s just do something.

Trying YouTube

I thought maybe I’d try YouTube. I know some dev stuff, so I made a few tutorial videos.

Ended up with 63 subscribers, 55 videos, and 6.7K total views 😂.

After a while I stopped. Didn’t really work out.

Building an extension for myself

While doing YouTube, I got annoyed by having to open so many tabs just to check channel analytics. So I wrote a small extension to pull all that into a sidebar. Called it InsightHub. It’s free.

It worked okay. Then I thought: maybe share it with others? Posted in a few small groups, and a handful of people downloaded it.

Then I built InsightExporter – export data to Markdown, CSV. This one has a fee. But there are discounts. If you can’t afford it or you’re a student, just hit me up and I’ll give you a discount code or a trial code :D

Other stuff that’s half-done

I’m also working on a few other things: SmartReplyAssistant, LiquidGlassPack, etc. Honestly, not finished yet. Some are just starting, some are still just sketches. I’ll announce them when they’re ready.

About the UI

For the UI, I’m going for a liquid glass look (kind of frosted, semi-transparent). If you see something that looks off or feels weird, please let me know. Thanks.

If you find this useful

• InsightHub: free, use it as much as you want.
• InsightExporter: paid (but with discounts – students or anyone tight on budget, just contact me for a discount or trial code :D)
• Other stuff: not sure yet if they’ll be free or paid.

If you find any of this helpful, feel free to:

• Leave a like / share this post
• Or just download the extension and try it out

Please leave a report if you encounter any bugs. I truly appreciate your contribution ❤️ and will try to fix it as quickly as possible.

Thanks for reading. Thanks for being here.
