"What would you say, if I told you, there is an app on the market..." "WE'RE PAST THAT PART! JUST DEMO IT!"

Well, here's your demo!

Inspiration

Don't do drugs, kids. We wanted to build something whimsical (a prank hack), keeping in mind the theme of this hackathon

What it does

Roll Ricks, Not Joints is a simple extension which will randomly convert one in every five links on any webpage he/she happens to visit, and redirect it to the Never Gonna Give You Up YouTube video!

How we built it

JavaScript, StackOverflow, and love

Challenges we ran into

We kept accidentally Rick Rolling ourselves while testing the extension and Googling stuff, forgetting that we had the extension installed lmao

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Working with tech we've never used before

What we learned

Building chrome extensions

What's next for Roll Ricks Not Joints

Vary the number of links per page that are converted so you can randomly rickroll people at maybe every 10th link
