onTask

Get the extension

The idea behind onTask is to help avoid rabbit holes by postponing distractions to revisit at a later time.

I implemented this as a Chrome extension that overrides the new tab page, as well as a standalone website. When opening a new tab, OnTask allows you to enter any distractions to revisit later so that you can stay focused on the task at hand.

I also wanted to have the web app and extension share a code base, so that presented some challenges.
