Well done! I've been planning to build something like this for a while but never had the time.


Thanks! The hard part was actually understand Chrome extension's lifecycle and communication between the content script, popup, and service worker. What I initially thought was going to be hard, ended up being actually quite easy (cf socket.io).

Good luck if you ever attempt to build it :)


I can imagine, browser extensions are a pain in the butt. Are you planning to open source the code? Did you build everything by yourself or on top of https://liveblocks.io/?


I was planning on open-sourcing the extension itself, but not the backend for now because of some secrets. But ultimately, my goal is to create a blog post to create a minimal yet functional Chrome extension connected to a backend with socket.io.

And didn't knew this service existed, so created everything myself so far.


Awesome! Like others mentioned here, content moderation plus security is key. Wish you the best of luck!


The picture of the article is showing how Argentina already implemented this nutricional labels.


Thank you for such a detailed response!


Happy Birthday SerenityOS! And thank you very much to Andreas and the them behind it. You guys restored my faith in programming and for that I'll be forever grateful.

I recently found Beekeeper Studio: https://www.beekeeperstudio.io/ and works like a charm on OS X.


And on windows and linux AND is open source and free :)



I use it every time I can and I freaking love it.


A bad programmer talks about bad programming. This is one of my favorite talks about software development. I dare you to watch it and choose CS as a career .
