Reading news or articles online is often stressful: comments reload or shift while you’re trying to focus. I wanted a simple way to reduce that noise.

What it does

Leer Tranquilo is a prototype browser extension. It injects a small control in the page to help keep comment sections expanded and stable, aiming for a calmer reading flow.

How we built it

  • JavaScript content script (content.js)
  • Minimal CSS for a floating button
  • Tested in Brave/Chrome

Challenges

  • Many sites re-render their DOM, making it hard to reliably freeze elements.
  • Some features (like “Expand & Freeze”) work partially or intermittently.

What we learned

Even tiny extensions can improve reading comfort. DOM manipulation is trickier than expected across different sites.

What's next

  • Stabilize the “Expand & Freeze” feature
  • Broaden support for more news sites
  • Publish on Chrome Web Store when mature

Built with

  • JavaScript
  • Chrome Extensions API
