LLM-based application I'd like to exist: Web browser addon for firefox that has blocklists of websites, when you try to visit one you have to have a conversation with Claude about why you want to visit it in this moment, convince Claude to let you bypass the block for a limited period of time for your specific purpose (let you customize the claude prompt with info about why you set up the block in the first place). Wanting to use for things like news, social media where it's a bit too much to try to completely block, but I've got bad habits around checking too frequently. Bonus: be able to let the LLM read the website for you and answer questions without showing you the page, like is there anything new about X.
Currently you need to be on the beta list though, since it costs Gemini API credits to run (though a quite trivial amount)—if you (or anyone else) DMs me an email I can add you to the list, and at some point if I have time I might enable payments such that it's generally available.
Initial version for firefox, code at https://github.com/william-r-s/MindfulBlocker, extension file at https://github.com/william-r-s/MindfulBlocker/releases/tag/v0.2.0
