Welcome to HN! Plugging your stuff is okay, but it’s generally frowned upon if you’re only here to sell something:
> Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff part of the time, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. – https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
Perhaps you could just participate in the discussion for now, and do a Show HN later when you’re ready?
You’re right, and I appreciate you pointing that out.
I’m mainly looking for early feedback to validate the direction before launch, not trying to use HN purely as a marketing channel. I’ll participate in the discussion and, once it’s ready, do a proper Show HN.
Looks great! But all the screenshots are of the settings. It would be nice to see what the end result is after enabling certain features.The preview is not the actual UX. I would like to see how will this tool change my youtube experience.
The reason I like unhook is, it doesn't change or force me to learn new ways to use YouTube but just reduce it to just video viewing with no distractions and blocking all the addictive pulls.

The previews in the admin panel are meant to reflect the actual UI changes on YouTube. For example, if you enable Speed Control in the player, the control appears in the player preview. Settings are saved on the fly, and when you go to youtube.com you get the modified experience accordingly.
On the website I only included a static demo, not an interactive one. Does that clarify your concern?
Maxxmod is still in development but we already have functional alpha builds. If you’re interested in testing one and giving feedback, feel free to email me at maxxmod [at] proton.me. Thanks, Pablo.
