domestic-hearth

A simple Google Chrome extension for mapping websites to a redirect, intended to help those that have a hard time avoiding the temptations of the open web.

Usage

To start leveraging the Hearth, publish any distracting website as a distraction, and map it to a replacement.

Distractions should be root-level site URLS, without protocol or www prefixed. Replacements must be fully qualified URLs so that the Chrome redirects can operate properly.

Examples:

Replace all of Reddit with https://steebe.dev:

distraction replacement
reddit.com https://steebe.dev

Replace only the root domain https://reddit.com with https://steebe.dev

distraction replacement
https://reddit.com https://steebe.dev

The difference in these examples is important. By specifying a protocol in the distraction, the URL redirection will only work when the browser visits https://reddit.com specifically, hence the advice above.
