Welcome to Syntax today. We have a syntax highlight. This is where we're looking at your projects that you've been working on, either reviewing or roasting them or just checking out cool stuff that people are working on. Everybody right now has a project. Everybody's working on something cool. And I think the most frustrating part about this stuff is getting people to simply care,

0:23.4

simply getting people to check stuff out. My DMs are full of stuff where people are like,

0:28.4

can you just check this out for me, Wes? So I thought, let's do a whole episode looking at what

0:33.9

everybody's working on. And man, there are so many cool things. I can't wait to get into it.

0:38.7

My name is Wes, obviously. With me is, is, is Scott. How you doing, Scott?

0:43.7

Hey, I'm doing good. Uh, Michigan won the national championship in, uh, basketball last night.

And congratulations. Oh, yes. I know. I did so much work playing basketball to win that game.

0:58.1

And no, it's so cool to see that happen. Our kids went nuts and go blue.

1:03.8

1:15.1

make sure you send it on over. You can reply to the tweet or skeet that I put out here.

1:20.6

All right, I'm going to shamelessly show my own as the very first one. And this is a Chrome extension

1:25.5

called JSON Alexander. And it simply is just a Chrome

1:29.2

extension for viewing JSON when you're in the browser, right? I had been using one for super long,

1:35.9

and I realized it was like injecting some like random stuff into my DOM. And I looked into it.

1:42.7

It turns out the author is, I don't know, he's going private with it,

1:47.0

doing some tracking stuff in there. And I was like, you know what? In this age, I don't need to

1:52.2

use somebody else's Chrome extension who is inevitably going to start injecting ads and

1:58.5

whatever into it. So I went and built my own.

2:01.3

It's called JSON Alexander and it has everything that I've wanted, right?

2:05.4

Like the ability to collapse all of the children, the ability to open at different levels,
