I built Pixel Pet because I spend a lot of time in the browser and wanted something small and low‑noise on the page—not another full dashboard or tab to manage. A tiny pet that lives on top of normal sites felt like the right fit: optional, easy to turn off, and a bit of character without getting in the way. The problem I was aiming at is simple: long reading or work sessions can feel flat. I wasn’t trying to “gamify” the whole web—just add a light, personal layer you control (which sites, how it looks, whether it follows the cursor or stays in the background). Early on it was mostly movement and visuals. Over time it grew with real usage: settings that stick, per‑site behavior, performance care on heavy pages, and small interactions (things like feeding or optional chase) so it feels alive without demanding attention. This launch is the version I’m happy to put in front of strangers: stable enough to install, clear about what it does, and honest about permissions.
