Support the project
Nyan Progress Bar is free and open source. If you enjoy it, consider buying me a coffee — it helps keep the cats fed and the extension maintained.
Thank you to everyone who has supported the project 🐱✨
Where your support goes
Nyan Progress Bar is a free side project, but it isn't free to run. Every contribution — no matter the size — goes directly back into keeping the extension alive and growing.
Hosting and infrastructure
The website, Chrome Web Store listing assets, and the contact-form email pipeline all cost a small but steady amount every month. Your support keeps the lights on.
New cats and features
Designing and animating a new cat theme — or building a new customization control — takes hours of careful work. Donations pay for that time so the catalogue keeps growing.
Bug fixes and Chrome updates
Chrome's extension APIs evolve constantly, and YouTube's player ships changes that occasionally break the scrubber overlay. Support funds the maintenance work that keeps everything running.
Other ways to help
Not in a position to donate? No problem — there are plenty of free ways to give the project a boost.
Leave a Chrome Web Store review
Reviews are the single biggest signal that helps other people discover the extension. Even a one-line rating makes a real difference.
Share with a friend
Know someone who lives on YouTube? Send them the link. Word of mouth has been our biggest source of new users.
Report bugs and ideas
Every bug report and feature request shapes the next release. Use the contact form or open a GitHub issue — both go straight to the maintainer.
Contribute on GitHub
The project is open source. Pull requests for bug fixes, translations, or new cat designs are very welcome.
Open and transparent
There are no paid tiers, no premium cats, and no ads inside the extension. The product is the same for everyone — donations are entirely a way to say thanks and keep the cats running.
