Show HN: Monchromate – Smart greyscale browser extension

https://monochromate.lirena.in
37•lirena00•13h ago
4 months back I started making an extension named monochromate which was basically a greyscale extension, I realised power of them when I turned it on my phone and the thing is being a programmer most of my time is spent on browsers ... and that's where it don't exist (at least not the perfect solution for my needs).

That's how I came up with it, made it open source, recently passed 100 users over chrome webstore and it have 5-star rating as of now.

and yes you might say that why would I need it when I can do this with filters that can be toggled via settings, thing is I didn't wanted to greyscale my work sites as well and thus I made site exclusion, also have scheduler, intensity control and above that all it supports all the browsers including Firefox providing same experience.

Would love any kind of feedback over this!!

I use the built in accessibility "Color Filters" in Mac with the Menu Bar shortcut to toggle it on/off

yes, definitely I am with you at that point, they are a great way to do this without a doubt although I am a windows user (lol) and also even if it's very fast to toggle the color filters via shortcut keys. I don't think so that I will be willing to toggle it off when I visit any work-related website like GitHub, Figma and such so site exclusion of this extension works really great for me in that perspective.

Somewhat related: I really like f.lux's "Darkroom" feature. Although I no longer use the app to reduce blue light after the advent of macOS's Night Shift, Darkroom mode tints the screen completely red (like a red version of Color Filters). It's great for working during the wee hours.
