Weibo Deleter — A Small Browser Extension
A small React browser extension built for a friend who wanted to delete Weibo posts in batches. It turns a deeply nested, roughly four-click deletion flow into a selectable batch operation.

01 / THE PROBLEM
What needed to work.
A friend wanted to delete old Weibo posts in batches, but Weibo did not offer a quick way to do it. The delete action was buried behind several interactions—roughly four clicks—and frequent interface changes made the relevant elements difficult to locate.

A summary of my responsibilities and technical approach. This workflow illustration does not reproduce the product UI.
02 / MY CONTRIBUTION
Where I took ownership.
- Built a React / Vite extension popup for selecting posts and showing operation progress.
- Implemented content-script DOM interaction and messaging to process selected posts sequentially.
- Worked on locating nested menu actions and confirmation controls as Weibo’s page structure changed.
03 / TECHNICAL APPROACH
Decisions in context.
Follow the page interaction step by step
The content script opens each post’s menu, locates the deletion action and handles confirmation, with pauses between steps for the page to respond.
