Spend less time searching. Spend more time using what you found.

1. Development that started without coding experience

Thank you for your interest in My View Point.

To be clear from the beginning, I am not an engineer. I have not worked professionally as a programmer. I graduated from a liberal arts faculty and usually work as a company employee.

My computer knowledge was about enough to use Microsoft Office without trouble. My View Point is what someone like me built together with generative AI.

2. It began with not being able to find the spot I wanted to revisit

The trigger was a very simple inconvenience.

As I started using generative AI in daily life, conversations became longer and longer. At first it was convenient, but the longer the conversation became, the more often I found myself wondering, "Where was that conclusion?" "I want to see that explanation again," or "I cannot tell where the important part was."

I would scroll up and down with the mouse wheel, fail to find what I was looking for, and ask a similar question again. That happened many times.

This is not limited to generative AI. It also happens during ordinary web browsing. For example, I play a game called Escape from Tarkov. When looking at guide sites, I often vaguely remember that "the information was on this page," but still spend time searching for it after opening the page.

3. I started building it with generative AI

In the past, it probably would have ended as just a complaint. But after I started using generative AI, things were a little different.

Maybe I could build it myself. That thought was the beginning of My View Point.

There are already similar features if all you want is highlighting. But the inconvenience I felt was not simply that I wanted to emphasize text. I wanted to be able to return to that exact spot with one click when I wanted to review it later.

At first, it was a small prototype for myself. I would tell generative AI what I had in mind, and it would turn it into code. I would try it, fix what moved, then make another request and try again.

At the beginning, it went more smoothly than I expected. Seeing something I imagined actually move on the screen was a very enjoyable experience.

4. From something for myself to something for others

But the moment I started thinking of releasing it not just for myself, but as something other people would use, the difficulty changed completely.

If I were the only user, some inconvenience would be fine. I would know where everything is. But when other people use it, that is not enough.

Is this display easy to understand? Will users get lost with this button placement? Does this behavior feel natural? Would a different behavior be better for people using it for another purpose? Once I started thinking like that, things I wanted to fix kept appearing.

At first, I thought I could release it within 2025. I began the personal prototype in April 2025 and started thinking about public release around June of the same year.

But in reality, it was released in April 2026.

I felt there is a large gap between using generative AI to create an app or feature and preparing it for public release so that someone else can use it.

There were technical issues, of course. But the hardest part was continuously thinking about what would be easy to understand for users.

Adding more features does not always make something more useful. In fact, adding too much can make it harder to understand.

During development, there was a time when it could do many things, but the overall experience became hard to use. The more features it had, the harder bugs became to fix. Fixing one thing would break another. That happened many times.

5. I decided to release it without waiting for perfection

So I changed my approach.

Instead of releasing everything at once, I would first release the core features. Then I would improve it while listening to feedback from people who actually use it. That is the current direction of My View Point.

Of course, I do not think it is okay to simply release something unfinished. At minimum, it needed to work properly, be understandable, and let users revisit what they saved. After preparing those requirements, I released it.

For example, before going out in public, it is important to straighten your clothes, shave, fix your hair, and check your appearance. But if you keep redoing it at home, wondering whether this outfit or that hairstyle is better, you will never get outside.

Of course, that does not mean rushing outside with no preparation. You prepare enough to be presentable, then step outside, let people actually see you, and improve based on their reactions.

I think My View Point is in a similar state. It was released not as a perfect finished product, but after preparing the core features, with the intention of growing it while listening to actual users. I believe that is the better path toward making it truly useful.

Rather than deciding everything only in my own head, I want to hear from actual users.

Which sites do you want to use it on? In what situations was it useful? What was hard to understand? What features would make it easier to use?

I want to use that kind of feedback to improve My View Point little by little.

After working on it for nearly a year, it feels less like just a tool and more like something that has grown in my hands. That is why I do not want it to end at release. I want to keep growing it carefully while listening to the people who use it.

The Standard plan is currently offered at an introductory price during the initial release period. This reflects that the extension is still growing, and it is also a thank-you price for users who support it early.

My View Point is not complete yet. There are many things that can be improved, and features I would like to add.

Even if each improvement is not dramatic, I want it to reduce users' "searching time" little by little.

6. Continuing to make it easier and more reassuring to use

My View Point is not an extension only for people who are already power users of the web.

For people who often research materials online or study on the web.
For people like me who use game guide sites.
For people comparing hotels, sightseeing spots, and transportation while planning a trip.
For people who want to save recipes they are interested in and come back to them later.

Whether someone uses the web heavily or only from time to time, I want My View Point to reduce small moments of friction and stress, such as searching, returning to a place, or finding something again.

I also want people who do not usually add browser extensions, or who feel a little uneasy about them, to be able to use it. That is why the official page explains the installation process and the basic usage as clearly as possible.

There is still more I can do to make it easier to understand and more reassuring to use. I will keep adding features and improving it so that it can naturally help with everyday research and information organization.

To do that, I want to use what people actually feel while using it as a reference for future improvements.

7. Please share your feedback

That is why I would really appreciate your feedback.

It can be specific or general: "I want this feature," "This UI is hard to understand," "I want to use it on this site," "This part was useful," or "This part was hard to use."

Please send your feedback through the survey form in the "Send feedback or requests" section under the Support & Contact tab on the official page.

Because this is an individual project, I may not be able to reply to every message individually. Even so, I will read what you send and use it as a reference for future improvements and fixes.

I want to keep improving My View Point little by little while listening to the people who actually use it.
