Weekly coding update, trying a sharper product shape
This week mixed a small new browser-extension experiment with continued work on Draft Path’s subscription model and free-tier shape.
This was a lighter but interesting coding week, with the work split between two different kinds of progress: a fresh browser-extension experiment and another step toward making Draft Path feel like a product with a clearer business shape.
A small experiment around calmer browsing
The new experiment was NopeTube, a browser extension aimed at making YouTube feel a bit more intentional. The work this week was mostly about getting the basics into place: a readable project description, proper extension icons, and a more predictable way for the extension to decide what it is looking at.
That might sound small, but it is the kind of foundation that helps an idea become testable. Instead of staying as a vague concept, NopeTube now has enough shape to explain what it is for and enough polish to start feeling like something that could be installed and tried.
Keeping Draft Path commercially grounded
Draft Path also continued in the background, with the main theme still centred on subscriptions and free-tier limits. The direction is becoming more deliberate: let people try the product with a limited amount of use, then introduce paid access when they want to go further.
- Started shaping a new browser-extension idea into something more concrete
- Added the basic polish and project framing needed for NopeTube to be understandable
- Kept pushing Draft Path toward a clearer try-first, subscribe-later model
Overall, this week felt less like one big feature push and more like product positioning work. One project is being given enough structure to become a real experiment, while the other is continuing to work through the practical question of how an early product should invite people in and eventually support itself.
