About

I'm a developer based in the UK who builds small products on the side. JargonPop is the current one — a Chrome extension that takes the jargon on YouTube and explains it in plain English, no second tab needed. I like making dense, confusing things easier to deal with, and I'm sharing the build as I go. Always up for feedback or a chat about indie building.

Here's What I Struggled With

What's the most impenetrable jargon you've had to breakdown lately?

Hey all Jamie here, a self taught dev from the UK. I read and watched a lot of technical stuff over the years and got tired of constantly pausing to Google technical terms when I started out programming, so I built JargonPop: a Chrome extension that flags the jargon on a page and explains it in plain English. It's live now and I'm launching it properly here on the 15th.

Genuinely curious though what's been the toughest jargon you've had to wade through recently or something you got stuck on when starting? The kind that makes you stop and go "what does that even mean?". Always after the gnarliest examples to test it against.
