Before the blackhole is becoming worse it become double ring and the unusual rings form from the blackhole and when it is perfect like the 3rd image the machine lags i need to fix all the issues and the main issue is the script doesnt gets injected i need to fix this main issue

I built Blackhole Break, a non-annoying screen break reminder that spawns a cool, 3D Interstellar-style black hole right on your web page instead of using ugly, screen-locking popups.

The biggest challenge was stacking multiple asymmetrical CSS layers at a -8 degrees 3D perspective warp to make the plasma belt look like it’s realistically bending around a pitch-black void without lagging the browser.

I’m most proud of the balance: it completely respects your workflow using pointer-events: none so you can type right through it, yet it visually nudges you to rest by physically expanding over time if you keep grinding.

Reviewers can test it instantly via the live GitHub Pages demo by adjusting the lo-fi terminal sliders and clicking “Force Event Horizon” to watch the anomaly form on the workspace preview.

Yeah it still need some ui improvements i am into it .

Today I polished the NOVA Break popup UI and launched a live demo.

While testing, I realized screenshots don’t really capture the effect.

NOVA Break is all about how the black hole slowly appears and grows over time, so I wanted people to experience it instantly instead of just looking at images.

Live Demo:

https://prfhh.github.io/NovaBreakDemo

For anyone new to the project:

•It is an Browser extension for people who hate productivity apps.

• Creates a cinematic 3D black hole after a period of work.

• No popups, notifications, or screen locks.

• Can be completely ignored.

• Slowly grows if you keep working as a gentle reminder to take a break.

• Runs directly in your browser tabs.

No popups and No nagging.

The live demo is a quick web sandbox built so anyone can test the 3D black hole mechanics instantly without installing the extension. The actual project is a full Chrome extension that runs the exact same script to inject the anomaly into your real browser tabs!

I’ve been building NOVA Break because I got tired of Pomodoro apps interrupting me with giant popups and screen locks right when I’m focused.

Instead of forcing a break, NOVA Break creates a small Interstellar-inspired black hole after 20 minutes of work. It doesn’t block clicks, typing, or scrolling—you can completely ignore it.

The twist is that if you keep ignoring it, the black hole slowly grows. The goal is to gently encourage breaks instead of demanding them.

The hardest part wasn’t the timer logic but making the effect actually feel like a black hole. Early versions looked more like glowing spinning circles, so I spent most of my time experimenting with CSS layers, blur effects, gradients, and perspective transforms until it felt cinematic.

I also added `pointer-events: none` so the effect never interferes with the page. Finding the right growth rate took a lot of tweaking too—too fast and it’s annoying, too slow and nobody notices it.

Next I’m experimenting with text warping, subtle audio effects, and stronger gravitational distortion.

My goal isn’t to make another productivity app—it’s to create a small sci-fi experience that reminds you to take a break without getting in your way.
