By skyforbes After getting sick of ChatGPT slowing down or freezing during long conversations, I built a small Chrome extension for myself… and I’m trying to figure out if this is something others actually want before I take it further.
Here’s what it does right now:
✓ Injects a clean floating toolbar inside ChatGPT
With message count, FPS indicator, and a “dock anywhere” toggle.
✓ Collapse old messages instantly
Keeps the last X messages visible (configurable) and hides the rest so the page stops lagging.
✓ “Show 50” / “Hard Cut” buttons
Reveal older chunks on demand, or aggressively remove old nodes when chats are 200+ messages.
✓ Auto-Summarize (optional)
Summarizes hidden parts of the conversation using your own summary length rules.
✓ Export conversation to text
Simple and reliable export instead of ChatGPT’s broken default.
✓ Prompt Enhancer
One-click tool that rewrites your message to be clearer/cleaner before sending.
Basically, it turns ChatGPT into a smoother, more professional workspace instead of a giant scrolling wall.
Why I’m posting:
Before I finish polishing the product and adding proper licensing, I want to know:
- Do you personally feel the pain of long ChatGPT threads slowing down?
- Would a tool like this improve your workflow?
- Which features matter most?
- What’s missing?
- Would you pay for a “Pro” tier if it saved you time daily?
I’m not selling anything yet just validating if this is genuinely useful beyond my own use-case.
Thanks in advance.
