Resist

Nutrition labels for your digital content

Meet Resist, a powerful Chrome extension that brings a "nutrition label" to your digital content. Much like food labels help us make healthier eating choices, Resist gives you insight into the cognitive content you're consuming without ever interrupting your flow. Once installed, Resist quietly integrates into your social media feed (currently supports X/Twitter) and adds a subtle icon to each post. Hovering over it reveals a digital nutritional label categorizing the content of the post into Education, Entertainment, and Emotion categories. Resist keeps a running tally of every post you’ve viewed in a day and provides a clear summary of where your attention has gone. ➤ Key Features ● Smart Content Labeling:
Instantly categorize posts as Education, Entertainment, or Emotional. Just hover and know what you’re about to scroll into. ● Passive, Zero-Effort Operation:
Resist works silently in the background: no tagging, no buttons, no interruptions. ● Attention Budgeting:
Define daily limits for each content type. Once your budget is up, Resist gently hides further posts in that category. ● Visual Consumption Dashboard:
See an at-a-glance breakdown of your attention: real-time consumption, weekly trends, and budget tracking, all neatly visualized in one dashboard. ● Privacy-by-Default: Storage
All data stays local to your browser. We never ask you for any credentials. ➤ Why you’ll love Resist: ● Take back control of what your social media feed shows you. ● Reclaim your time and attention without needing willpower. ● No extra work. Just browse as usual, and let Resist track where your attention has gone. ● Consume content more intentionally, with awareness and autonomy. ● Track your digital habits in a meaningful, effortless way. ● Support a healthier attention economy. By disengaging from low‑quality content, you send a signal that encourages platforms to surface better material. ➤ Limitations and call for collaboration Resist is an early experiment, and like any experiment, it has shortcomings. The classification system is intentionally simple — Education, Entertainment, and Emotion — but this taxonomy may not capture the full richness of online content. Similarly, accuracy is not perfect: edge cases and nuanced posts can be misclassified. We see Resist as a starting point, not a final answer. If you’re interested in improving Resist, whether through better taxonomies, sharper models, or creative ideas for presenting information, I’d love to collaborate. Together, we can refine this tool and push toward a healthier digital attention economy.
