I built an open source "Quality of Life" browser extension for Modrinth (Quick search, Project card actions, Gallery background, Dependency trees, CurseForge redirects, and more)

Hey everyone,

I spend a lot of time on Modrinth, and while the site is great, I felt like there were a few "power user" features missing that would probably be out of scope for contributions to the website itself.

That's why I’ve been working on Modrinth Extras, an open source browser extension. It adds QoL tweaks directly into the UI, alongside deeper functionality like native desktop notifications and automatic CurseForge redirects.

General features:

Notifications: View, manage, and clear unread notifications right in the header without leaving the current page.
Quick search: Ctrl+K or / for a command palette style search with faceted tags for loaders, versions, categories, and types.
Project card actions: Download, follow, and save projects right from their project cards.
Analytics export: Adds a button to download analytics charts as PNG images.

Content page features:

Activity sparkline: Release activity chart on project pages.
Tools sidebar: Generate embeds, view raw API responses, copy download URLs and packwiz commands.
Dependency sidebar: Collapsible dependency tree on project pages.
GitHub sidebar: Stars, issues, pull requests, and forks for linked repositories.
Discord sidebar: Server name, description, member count, and online count for linked Discord servers.
Gallery background: Display the featured gallery image as a background banner on project pages.

Extension features:

Notification badge: Up-to-date unread notification count as a badge on the extension icon.
Desktop notifications: Operating system notifications for your Modrinth notifications.
CurseForge redirect: Redirect CurseForge project pages to Modrinth when available.

It’s fully open-source and you can even build it from source yourself if you prefer, all features are optional and can be toggled individually from the extension popup.

I’m really looking for feedback from the modding community, are there any other "extras" you’ve always wanted on the site? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

It still amuses me how they once banned fireflies because in real life they are toxic to frogs. But now, not only do they put in pools with sulfuric acid, but now they put in geysers and sell it as if it were safe to be near one.
