Show HN: X Detox – Remove distracting elements from X/Twitter to stay focused
- ktg0215 9mo agoI built this because X became impossible to use without getting sucked into endless scrolling. The algorithm is incredibly good at showing engaging content - which is exactly the problem. I wanted to check updates from people I follow, not spend 40 minutes on rage bait and viral threads. X Detox lets you: - Hide the "For You" feed and keep only "Following" - Remove trending topics and "What's happening" - Hide engagement metrics (likes, retweets, view counts) - Disable infinite scroll with a customizable post limit It's not about quitting X entirely - it's about using it intentionally. I'm a software engineer in Tokyo and this is part of a series of "digital detox" extensions I've been building. Feedback welcome!
