Experiments
Prototypes for changing how content reaches you. Small interventions that test the question: what would it feel like if the feed pushed back, even a little?
Experiment 01
The Scroll Lab
A Chrome extension that applies live visual transformations to your social feed.
The Scroll Lab is a small Chrome extension that lets you toggle experimental visual treatments on top of X / Twitter in real time. Padding, fragmenting, blurring, desaturating, distorting — each mode is a deliberate piece of friction, dropped between you and the feed to see what changes.
The point isn't to make the feed unusable. It's to notice what your attention actually does when the usual visual rhythm is interrupted. Most of these tweaks took ten minutes to write. A few of them changed how I scroll for the rest of the day.
It also tracks how long you've been on the site and how many posts you've passed — quietly, in the corner of the panel — so you can watch the experiment of the experiment.
Unzip, then in Chrome go to chrome://extensions, enable
Developer mode, click Load unpacked, and select the
unzipped folder.
