Can I get some brutally honest feedback on a Chrome extension I built at 16?

Hi everyone, I'm a 16-year-old student who recently taught myself Chrome extension development and built my first extension called ReadBack – Universal Continue Reading. The idea is simple: instead of just bookmarking a webpage, it lets you save your reading progress and later continue from the exact paragraph where you left off. It also includes folders, favorites, notes, a reading timeline, reading statistics, and streaks. I'm not looking for compliments. I'd genuinely appreciate brutally honest feedback. If you think the idea is unnecessary, tell me. If the UI feels outdated, tell me. If there are features missing or something doesn't make sense, tell me. I want to build products people actually enjoy using, so honest criticism is much more valuable than praise. Chrome Web Store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/readback-%E2%80%93-...

Thank you for taking the time to help!

Congrats on shipping!

What have you built? Why have you built it? Who is your target audience? What did you learn by building it? How would you extend it?

Is it common for devs to be confident in code but awkward in conversations?
