After weeks of building on nights and weekends - WidePlayer for X is finally on Product Hunt. Browser extension that widens in-feed videos on X. No fullscreen, no losing your place in the feed. Would love your support! producthunt.com/products/widep… #buildinpublic

Didn’t expect this today. Someone sent me a GitHub donation for WidePlayer, my open source browser extension. I built it mostly because I wanted video playback on X to be a little less annoying on desktop. So seeing someone support it, even in a small way, is honestly really nice. Thank you :)

And if you want to see the code, contribute, or just poke around: GitHub link: github.com/mixon00/widepl…

If you want to try it, you can find WidePlayer here: wideplayer.com

@youssuf_salah_ Thanks man! Really appreciate the star. I’m keeping it open source, so feedback and ideas are more than welcome.

@mat_misztoft That's awesome man. A better experience is sorely needed, especially for video players. I'll be sure to star your repo

Did I mention that WidePlayer is open source? It’s a small browser extension that makes video playback on X/Twitter more comfortable by giving you a larger in-feed player without forcing fullscreen or opening a new tab. GitHub repo below👇

And if you just want to install WidePlayer, you’ll find it here for your browser: wideplayer.com

Always hated the tiny video player on X. Can't see anything without going fullscreen. So I made myself a browser extension that just resizes it. No more choosing between tiny and fullscreen. Been using it for weeks. Works perfectly. Should I actually release this?

The best part of vibe-coding isn't avoiding the hard parts of programming. It's that you can prototype ideas fast enough to kill them before you've invested months. Most ideas should die quickly. This makes that possible.

Codex CLI now has a /goal command: it loops until the goal is done, or the token budget runs out. Set it and forget it, essentially. The uncomfortable part: you come back and it’s either solved everything or wasted the entire budget doing something sideways. The trust thing is real. We’re building tools that require blind faith before they’ve earned it.

Every indie hacker has at least one abandoned project gathering dust. I have three. They taught me more than the ones I shipped. The trick is not to feel bad about it - but to learn faster. What was your last abandoned project?

@DevTenta checking if anyone else is annoyed by this too or if it’s just me, if this extension helps someone I can publish it

@mat_misztoft hey super useful, why not release it?

Watching videos on X is so annoying. The player is tiny. Like postage stamp tiny. Can't see anything without going fullscreen. But fullscreen hides all my other windows. So I built a little browser plugin that lets me resize the video. Now I can actually see what's in the video without covering my whole screen. Should I release it?

Claude Code can't even set equal padding anymore. Ask it to fix spacing on three elements. Breaks the layout. Fix the layout. Removes padding entirely. Add padding back. Breaks something else. Three boxes, same padding. That's it. Eventually you write the 4 lines yourself. Anyone else seeing this?

Just shipped onboarding to DescBox. 7 steps that walk new users through their first setup. Photo tips, platform, language, tone, context. Everything they pick goes straight to the dashboard. No confusing blank forms. No guessing what to fill in. What makes onboarding actually useful vs annoying?
