FIX IT is a You Ship, We Ship about fixing the internet.
The web is broken. Ads everywhere, terrible dark modes, missing features, cluttered interfaces, you know the drill. The good news is, you don't have to accept it.
WHAT'S A USERSCRIPT?
A userscript is a small piece of JavaScript that runs on websites to modify how they look or work. Userscripts let you:
- Remove annoying elements, like ads
- Add missing features
- Fix broken functionality
- Customize interfaces how you want
- Literally anything else you can think of
WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?
Spend an hour making a userscript that makes your life easier, upload it to a userscript site like GreasyFork and we'll send you some cool stickers!
Not sure what to make? Here are some ideas:
- Remove autoplay from all videos on a site
- Add a dark mode toggle for a site that doesn't have one
- Automatically expand truncated comments without clicking "read more"
- Hide promoted posts on a social media site
- Convert prices on a shopping site to your local currency automatically

HOW?
Your userscript needs to be written in JavaScript (unless you're a wizard and know how to set it up with TypeScript).
You'll need a userscript manager. I recommend Violentmonkey.
To track your time spent, you can't use the built-in editor. You can use whatever editor you want as long as it supports Hackatime, and and follow this guide to set it up.
psst... not using Violentmonkey? try this guide instead...
There are a ton of great resources online for learning how to make a userscript. If you're not sure where to start, check out the Violentmonkey Guide.
Once you've made your userscript, you need to publish it on GreasyFork! GreasyFork is the largest online repository for sharing and installing userscripts.
