AI Analysis

●MidSolve My Problem

Solves a real friction point, but it's a single-use browser extension with narrow appeal.

Strengths
  • •Speed slider (1x-10x) with smooth transition to slower scroll on important people's messages
  • •Persistent cross-chat settings with mixed-script name support (Hebrew, Arabic, Latin)
  • •Click-to-unhide hidden messages mimics Slack's UX pattern effectively
Weaknesses
  • •Extremely narrow use case—only for WhatsApp Web group chat users; requires manual developer mode installation
  • •No mobile app; competes against native WhatsApp features and alternative UX patterns

Target Audience

WhatsApp Web users drowning in group chat noise

Post Description

I got tired of scrolling through endless WhatsApp group chats, so I built a browser extension that does the scrolling for me. You can tag contacts as "important" to scroll slower when their messages are in view. You can also hide messages from specific users (click-to-unhide like Slack has).
