DeleteThing

A browser extension that eliminates the tedious deletion confirmation process across major cloud platforms.

"Life's too short to manually type / copy paste project names in deletion confirmations."

🤔 The Problem

We've all been there. You want to delete a project, repository, or deployment, and you're faced with:

It's 2024, and we're still manually typing- or at least copy-pasting my-super-long-project-name-with-hyphens just to delete something. This repetitive, error-prone process wastes your time.

💡 The Solution

DeleteThing automates these annoying deletion confirmations by:

• ✅ Auto-filling project/repository names in confirmation fields
• ✅ Auto-clicking through multi-step confirmation dialogs
• ✅ Smart detection of project names from URLs and page content
• ✅ Zero configuration - works immediately after installation

🚀 Supported Platforms

Platform	Features	Status
Vercel	Auto-fills project name + "delete my project"	✅
Netlify	Auto-fills project name	✅
Cloudflare Pages	Auto-fills project name	✅
Cloudflare Workers	Auto-fills worker name	✅
GitHub	3-step automation + repository name	✅

All steps complete within 1 second of your initial click.
