Inspiration
Anyone who watches a movie will probably remember the scenes and story years later, but why do we keep forgetting what we read? One of the factors arguably is the visual factor that movies provide. Most of us have seen Jaws, many of us own a Blahaj, but few of us remember shark facts or such things, is it possibly because is just writing that we read? Well, I have a simple solution to the problem, take no chances, use emojis!!! With emojis you retain the textual information but with a visual context. Will it help you remember shark (or Blahaj) facts? I certainly hope so!
What it does
When you click on the extension, it replaces every instance of the word shark on your current webpage with 🦈.
How we built it
I simply used some JavaScript and Chrome functions to build this awesome Chrome extension!
Challenges we ran into
Most of the resources on the internet use Manifest v2, so figuring out how to use Manifest v3 was a bit of a challenge.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Just the extension in general!
What we learned
Making a Chrome extension and using Manifest v3
What's next for MakeBlahaj
Maybe make some version which also changes some other common and interesting words?
