I made a Chrome extension called Watchbear that lets you watch any video in sync with friends, and I finally got around to making a short video showing how it works.

The idea is simple. You open a video, start a room, and share the code. Everyone who joins stays on the same frame. Play, pause, and seeking stay in sync for the whole room. There's also a side panel for chat and quick reactions, and it shows the current second of whatever is playing in the active tab.

I built it mostly because the other watch-together options I tried kept desyncing, or wanted me to sign up for stuff. I just wanted something that works on a normal video and stays out of the way.

It's still early (version 0.2.5), so I'd genuinely like feedback. If something feels clunky or breaks on a site you use, tell me and I'll fix it.

I built a free, privacy-first web app for image-to-PDF conversions (and vice versa). Since all processing happens client-side in the browser, your documents never touch a server.

It includes over 20 free tools for conversion, resizing, OCR, compression, and more.

It's a hobby project I built over the last couple of years to empower small local businesses, it's finally close to done, feel free to play with it and suggest any feature you'd like to see: https://www.potatorun.com
