LiterateGoggles

LiterateGoggles is a personal browser toolkit for tweaking the way websites look and behave. It starts with small conveniences—like hiding LeetCode difficulty badges so you can focus on solving the problem—and invites you to grow a collection of similar experiments for any site you use.

daily.chebakov.me

The repository also contains a personal morning dashboard built with a static Next.js/React frontend and a FastAPI backend. The dashboard and its sandbox IELTS routes are protected by Google OpenID Connect and a single verified-email allowlist; OAuth tokens and application sessions remain server-side or in secure HttpOnly cookies.

The homepage follows DAILY.md and combines:

• direct access to IELTS vocabulary on daily.chebakov.me, plus speaking and writing practice hosted exclusively on sandbox.chebakov.me, with audio-only speaking prompts read by random British ElevenLabs voices;
• five repertoire-matched drills from the latest 100 Chess.com games and five deeper opening-theory drills, with local Stockfish comparison;
• bilingual "on this day" history from English and Russian Wikipedia;
• three Russian and three English sayings sampled at daily creation from the full Wikiquote collections, with OpenAI-generated translation, meaning, and usage notes;
• daily ML research selected from Hugging Face Papers, the Hugging Face blog, and alphaXiv;
• 30 daily source-grounded mathematics and ML problems, with worked solutions and transfer exercises; Algorithm day combines one book problem with one LeetCode Medium and one LeetCode Hard problem, all with Python solutions. Opening a worked solution is saved, while unopened problems carry into the next daily set;
• server-enforced 25-minute English- and Russian-reading timers, with a completion chime and durable SQLite history for future statistics;
• a SQLite-backed active-recall queue for concepts learned during the day, using OpenAI-generated indirect questions that change on each due date, 1, 3, 7, 14, 30, 60, and 120-day review gaps, next-day retries after misses, and automatic archival after full mastery;
• random-depth, multiple-choice chess opening-name identification from Lichess's CC0 opening dataset, with automatic scoring, repeatable positions, optional movable-board continuation bonuses, and local progress;
• short introductions to important car models;
• public-domain Russian poetry for memory practice.

FastAPI refreshes the digest at midnight in the configured timezone, with a first-visit fallback after a date change. The generated digest and selection history persist in api/daily.json, preventing research, sayings, cars, and poetry from repeating across restarts. The chess book is checked in at api/chess_repertoire.json; daily chess state and non-repetition history live in api/chess_drills.json. All LLM generation uses OpenAI GPT-5.6 Sol through the Responses API; the problem studio uses high reasoning effort and keeps its own non-repetition history in api/math_daily.json. Provider credentials remain server-side.

Successfully evaluated IELTS writing attempts are saved in api/ielts_writing.sqlite3, including the original response, timing, criterion scores, feedback, and a minimal-change band-7.5 rewrite. This durable structure is ready for future progress charts without exposing essay history publicly. Concepts and their complete recall history are stored separately in api/concept_memory.sqlite3.

See api/README.md for local and production setup.

What it can do today

• Strip rank/file coordinate overlays from Aimchess chessboards when you'd rather rely on intuition.
• Hide LeetCode problem difficulty labels until you want to see them.
• Block Chess.com with a full-screen reminder once you've already played more than three games in a day.
• Keep a global on/off switch so you can pause every tweak with a single click.
• Offer a simple registry (src/js/features.js) where new ideas can be added without touching the rest of the codebase.

Install from source

1. Clone this repository.
2. Install dependencies: npm install.
3. Build the extension: npm run build.
4. Open Chrome (or any Chromium-based browser) and navigate to chrome://extensions/.
5. Enable Developer mode.
6. Click Load unpacked and pick the dist folder from this project.

Development workflow

• Build once: npm run build
• Build and watch for changes: npm run watch
• Package a zip for distribution: npm run zip

Adding your own tweaks

1. Open src/js/features.js.
2. Add a new entry to LITERATEGOGGLES_FEATURES with:
   • a unique id,
   • a name and description for the popup,
   • a storageKey to remember the toggle state,
   • an appliesTo(location) function to limit where it runs,
   • onEnable/onDisable hooks to apply your changes.
3. Update src/css or src/js to include any styles or scripts your feature needs.
4. Run npm run build (or npm run watch) and reload the unpacked extension.

Each feature appears as its own toggle in the popup so you can experiment freely without disturbing the rest of your stack.
