The Scroll Lab

Download it, open X, and start toggling between modes — blur, grayscale, tweet padding, font cycling, break cards — each one a specific small guess about what reopens attention and what doesn't. Most of them took ten minutes to write, a few of them changed how I scrolled for the rest of the day, and all of them are there partly to be tested on someone who isn't me.

Please actually use it, and actually tell me what you notice, because every mode is a tiny hypothesis about which interventions do something real and which ones I just convinced myself of, and those hypotheses get a lot less imaginary the more people push on them.

On data: the extension does collect a small amount of anonymous usage information — how long the panel is open, how far you scroll, which mode is active — and that's the whole list. No post content, no account information, nothing identifying. It's just how I'll eventually know whether any of this actually moves the needle.
