Inspiration
Websites are designed so that it's really hard to fall down the rabbit hole of impulsive buying. Our app functions as a browser extension to replace the "Buy" and "Add to Cart" options on pages with an "I'm interested button." The user is then forced to wait a predetermined time before being able to proceed with their purchase.
What it does
It replaces the "Buy Now" or "Add to Cart" buttons with a button of its own that forces you to delay your purchase and decide if you still want it in the future. It also lets you selectively disable parts of the page like the "Sponsored" or "Similar" items.
How I built it
For saving user preferences and history, we used a postgres database behind an express backend. The app front end is made in react and the chrome extension is vanilla Javascript.
