Created a Little Chrome Extension to detect if OBS is running – Thoughts?

Hey everyone,

So, I've been dabbling in a side project lately. As someone who often streams, I've been looking for ways to ensure certain things don’t accidentally pop up on my streams (like personal DMs on Twitter). So, I began building a small "streamer mode" for my Chrome browser.

The first step was to determine if OBS was actively running, which led me to create the OBS Detector Chrome Extension. It’s a basic tool that just tells you if the OBS WebSocket server is running. When it's active, a small badge goes green and says "ON", and red for "OFF" when it isn’t.

Here's the link to the repository if you're curious: https://github.com/SableRaf/OBS-detector-ChromeExtension

I built this mainly for my use, but then thought, why not share it? Maybe there are others in this community who might find value in this or even want to pitch in ideas to refine it further.

Cheers!
