Genuinely asking.. Can someone just tell me if my extensions are actually good or not
Six months. Four Chrome extensions. Hundreds of installs. Two people actually use them.
I've been building HelixLabs since February. So far there is Prompt Helix, FocusForge, CookieNuke, RealityCheck. I keep telling myself the story that it's an activation problem, not a product problem. Maybe that's true. Maybe I'm just protecting myself from a harder truth.
So I'm asking honestly, not for validation, not for installs. I want the real answer.
If you have five minutes, install one of them, actually try to use it, and tell me if it's genuinely useless. Tell me what's confusing, what's pointless, what you'd never pay for. I'd rather know now than keep guessing.
Prompt Helix -- ask AI about any webpage without copy-pasting.
FocusForge -- blocks distracting sites, has a Nuclear Option that locks everything down.
CookieNuke -- auto-rejects cookie banners, scores sites on privacy risk.
RealityCheck -- flags manipulation and hype on any page you're reading.
All free to try. All BYOK — your own API key, nothing stored on my end.
I'm not asking you to pay for anything. I'm asking you to be honest with me about whether any of it is actually worth building further.

Since you asked for the real answer, not validation: the extensions probably aren't the problem. Four extensions, hundreds of installs, two active users isn't four product failures, it's one pattern, and the pattern is the tell. If one flopped, blame the extension. Four flopping the same way points upstream of any single product.
The harder truth under the "activation problem" story you're telling yourself: you're building things that are clever but that nobody was already desperate for. Prompt Helix, FocusForge, CookieNuke, RealityCheck are all "nice, I guess" tools, solutions looking for a pain. None attacks a problem someone was actively, painfully failing to solve. That's why installs don't convert: people try them out of curiosity, it fades, and nothing pulls them back because the pain wasn't acute enough to build a habit around.
The four-extension spread is itself the diagnosis. Four things in six months means you're spreading across ideas instead of going deep on one that works, usually a sign none pulled hard enough to earn your focus, so you keep starting new ones hoping the next catches. Understandable, but it guarantees none gets the depth to win.
What I'd do: stop building. Take the one extension with even slightly more pull and go talk to the people who use it. Not "is it good" but "what were you doing when you reached for it, what would've made you keep it." That tells you if there's a real wedge or if it's time to move on. Four shots that missed the same way means aim, not the guns.
Which one has the most real usage? That's the only one worth another month.
