Extension summary
The idea is to help induce synesthesia between words and colors, so that when you see a word you think about it in a particular color. Not only has this been proven to increase verbal memory but now just the visual of a word has a color connected to it. With reading as an essential daily function imagine making your day just a bit more colorful :) I also wrote a medium article on synesthesia and why I built this (https://medium.com/@ilianherzi/inducing-synesthesia-4ead16f37a1b). Couple of things about version 0.1.0 of the extension:
- The current version is best used on webpages that don't update or change with a lot of text (so when reading).
- For dynamic pages that update the color changes don't persist, so for example in gmail colored words go back to black and white.
- On input text the color of the words don't change (so typing an email, writing a post, searching on google)
These difficulties with the extension will be fixed in version 0.2.0!
