Forever ago, I created a Chrome extension that allowed you to annotate skills that had been endorsed by others with a "Hell No" label if you felt it was not deserved. For obvious reasons, it never got traction but got a few laughs on the podcast that inspired it, which was enough for me.

I mean unless it had a backend server no one would ever see the "hell no css styling" (and even then only others who also had the extension) so it doesn't really make much sense.

You're right re: needing a backend server, but that was kind of the point of it. You'd have to be "in the know" enough to install it and then you'd see the styling. It relied on Firebase storage for the backend piece. In the end, it was mostly for a joke in regards to ongoing discussion from an old Mule podcast. As such, it was just for fun anyways and never really intended to be more than that.
