WHats that 7 figure agency ?
Like what do you want me to say.
I get a DM from the owner of the site that asks me to remove it. Literally get your own adblock. idk what else to tell you. genuinely.
What's new in BetterLET
LowEndSpirit support
- BetterLET now works on LowEndSpirit as well as LowEndTalk.
- All three designs (OG, V1, V2) work there, in Auto, Light, and Dark.
- The settings gear sits in the green header, left of Sign In.
"itzsenu mode": your own block list for those annoying users
- Block someone from their profile, their hover card, or the small icon next to their name on any post.
- A short confirm step shows before anything changes.
- After that, you no longer see their threads, comments, other people's quotes of them, or their name in "Last comment by".
- If you open one of their threads directly, a one-line note replaces their post.
- DMs: chats with them disappear from your inbox. Their new messages are marked read, so they never alert you. In a group chat, only their messages are hidden.
- Gear → Blocked people shows everyone you blocked, with Unblock buttons.
- Your list stays in your own browser, kept separately for each forum.
Deal and giveaway finder
- A new Show menu in the toolbar: All, Deals, Giveaways, or No deals.
- Threads get a small Deal or Giveaway tag, based on their category and title.
- If a page has only a few matches, the finder loads more pages by itself.
Thread previews
- Hover over a thread title to read the start of the first post, with author and age.
- This works in the thread list, the sidebar, the dashboard, and the offers panel.
Smarter left sidebar
- My threads: the threads you started, with reply counts and new replies.
- Posted in: the threads you commented in, each linked to your latest comment there.
- Categories: the full category list with thread counts, now on LowEndSpirit too.
Karma (LowEndSpirit)
- User hover cards show karma.
- Karma flair in the gear: On, Bad karma only, or Off.
- Flair is drawn as a soft color tint that fits BetterLET's look.
One settings gear
- The gear controls design, theme, signatures, and karma flair on both forums.
- On LowEndSpirit, the gear replaces the site's own theme menu and flair slider, so the layout never breaks when the theme changes.
UI polish
- Easier-to-read header and text.
- Header buttons and the gear line up.
- The gear menu shows each item on one line.
- Real icons replace text symbols for Mark seen, vote arrows, and search.
- The toolbar stays on one row.
- V2 shows the content on a white page.
Easier on the forums
- If a forum says "slow down", BetterLET pauses its background page loads for 10 minutes.
- On LowEndSpirit it loads extra pages more slowly to stay under the site's limits.
I'd also like to raise CorePanel, it is quite distatesful. While I recognize that LET relies on advertisements to sustain the community, I'd still hope there would be a better option than advertising CorePanel
How's 1GH doing?

Personal opinion, but I think this thread (and OP) are getting a bit out of control here.
Throughout the thread, they have consistently, to put it bluntly, been a dick. Yes, the reception was not positive to OP's extension. But OP was attempting to share his vibecoded extension with the hopes that users of LET would use it.
For example:
Now recall from the LowEndTalk rules: "When you pull out your big boy language, make sure it's pointed at something other than another LET member."
OP's above post seems to be a flagrant violation of this rule. After a @itzsenu (a well-respected member of the LET community) shares their opinion on OP's extension, OP singles them out and names a feature after them.
I'd even consider this borderline harassment. Doesn't this make you think of something? Perhaps... hmm.... @jar's promotion targeting @forest and @WyvernCo. The only difference is Jarland actually had a half functioning product that contributed some value to the community, which is why this promotion had any impact at all - unlike this browser extension.
And from before, OP's targeted insults toward @stable_genius.
A few other things aside from this:
Notice how BetterLET uses LET in its name, referencing LowEndTalk. Only in the footer of their webpage do they mention in fine print that they are not affiliated with LET/OGF.
I am no lawyer, but both I and friends have personally received cease-and-desist letters over cases similar to this - using the trademarked brand inside a project - even if noncommercial/"open source."
I wouldn't be surprised if some unsuspecting user confused BetterLET as being related to or affiliated with LET. Of course, this would be something for LET to pursue, it is not my place to take any action on this as a member.
In summary - in my personal opinion:
Ah yes, OP also describes the extension as "built by a regular" on his website...?
Do you spend real time on LET/LES? Why don't you have an account yet?
You added your targeted harassment of itzsenu to your webpage and GitHub? Are you serious?
He wants you to say what everyone here wants you to say: say ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, are you too dumb to understand this?
just BE QUIET, you've said more than too much already
m'kay?
Honestly, dude pushed first, so I pushed back. I don’t take disrespect from someone on the street, and a forum doesn’t change that for me. I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t talk to me like that face to face, and if you look through my other posts here, you’ll see I’m genuinely trying to help.
“unofficial”: I one shotted the site. Didn't even comb over it yet. I’m moving it up so nobody thinks it’s an official LET page. If the admins want any links taken down, they can message me and I’ll pull them. JB knows how the DM's work and has already sent me some.
I built BetterLET because I wanted it myself. I lurked here for about 6 months, and the layout kept me from jumping into threads because it was hard to use. Once the extension was running, I started reading more and posting more. A few people here said they enjoy it too, and some liked the idea enough to build their own versions. That tells me the site **needed ** something like this.
I could’ve kept it to myself, and I get the sense a couple of people here would’ve liked that better. I shared it anyway, and I’m going to keep working on it, just to spite anyone that wants me to not to. Just because I can.
If the admins want a specific change, they can tell me and I’ll build it.
Firefox support and Tampermonkey scripts are already in progress for the people who asked for them.
Oh I understand perfectly. I just don't care.
I know, you're just too stupid, you did what any other common stupid ass would do in your position, I always knew you would respond something like that.
More, I know all your responses will follow the same line because that's what any stupid ass would do.
So carry on, make more of a fool of yourself, you're fun to watch.
Did you one shot the Chrome extension too?
Have you ever used an internet forum before?
Dude im at house..... Hmm last time i went outside of house 2 months ago
Do not try and bend the extension. That's impossible. Instead only try to realize the truth.
The truth is that there is no extension.
There is only the improved LET/LES.
Nothing that is as irritating to use as the stock layout on LET, in at least 15 years.
Ah great, time to delete the repo and close this post as it turns out there's nothing here at all?
Yeah hi. Fool checking in here. Just wanted to let you know I'm still here - being a fool.
There is nothing. Anywhere. Ever.
So stupid that you're using a bot now.
I think there was an informal rule against talking nonsense ... or wait ... spam, that's right!
You're reaching break point, you're overwhelmed.
Your brain and body are tired and you need an immediate need to stop, reset, and recover so you started using a bot.
You're toast!
I'm literally here doing this just to further irritate and prove how much of a fool I am. Just to waste your time. You done yet?
ID-10-T 404 overload.

Just look at the guy's twitter. And before mr MakersHelpDesk accuses me of stalking yes his twitter is linked from the betterLET website.
You will be entertained
Dont think so.
Hmm, first of all, thanks for this... and for adding me as a feature
I'd like to mention this: comment
Yes, I said "Ewww" because this is LET. If something like that offends you, then you're on the wrong forum. buddy
Oh, buddy, even if the President himself comes face to face with me, I'll say what I want to say directly to his face. That's just who I am.
Yes only posts
If u ever told commnets.. My genuine reaction,
Whats a horny dude..... Go to someware with that 7 figure money
I accused you of brigading, which is purposeful targeting of a user through specific means. Such as post history.
Whats wrong with my X? I've met all kinds of people on X. Most of them aren't toxic shitheads and have been rude, or mean, or a dick to me. Is my X too cringe for you?
Show everyone how awesome you are by finding whatever is wrong with my X, whatever I post, whatever I share. Please continue. Show the community how great you are. What a great contributor.
Your bot is overwhelmed, took so long to respond.
Correct, Grok Bot user. Very unhappy with Grok Bot it seems. Maybe due to recent Grok Bot Quota Change.
You are fighting in too many fronts, you need more bots.
You bot is not keeping up.
Try harder, go bankrupt
I actually did that months ago with vp.net specifically. They never responded.
Oh hey, this is actually really useful. Didn't know about awwwards, ty for the inspo
