Reveals what you actually pause on, not just scroll past, on X, Reddit, LinkedIn and YouTube. Topics, mood, timing.
Turns out I only actually read about 8% of what I scroll past (made a Chrome extension to prove it)
Been running this on myself for a couple weeks now and the numbers are kind of humbling honestly.
Turns out I scroll past hundreds of posts a day and actually stop and read like 8% of them. Built a Chrome extension called LumoScroll that only counts a post if you genuinely pause on it for 2.5 seconds, not just have it technically visible on screen for a second while you fly past it. Everything else gets thrown out.
Once a week it gives you a report on what topics actually held your attention, whether the stuff you read leaned positive or negative, what time of day you scroll the most. There's this thing called an attention funnel that shows how many posts scrolled past you total versus how many actually made you stop, that number is the one that got me.
It also gives you a kind of scroll personality based on your patterns, mine came back as something like "Night Owl Tech Optimist" which felt uncomfortably accurate. If you want to get more hands on with it, you can set actual goals too, like capping how long you spend on a specific platform per day and it tracks your progress against that in real time.
There's a small on-page readout too if you want it, shows your session time and mood while you're actually scrolling instead of only finding out a week later. Totally optional, one click to turn off if it's not your thing.
Works across Twitter/X, Reddit, LinkedIn and YouTube. Everything runs locally in your own browser, no account, no server, nothing gets sent anywhere.
It's called LumoScroll, free to try out: chromewebstore.google.com/detail/lumoscroll-att…
