Never launched — investor strategy changed

Helpa aimed to replace intrusive advertising with something users would actually accept, through a browser extension that worked across browsers and devices, plus a dashboard-style homepage merging news, weather and social feeds.

We built it on a custom JavaScript framework and SDK, in phases.

The technical objectives were met in full. The product never launched commercially — Helpa’s investors changed strategy. We include it because a portfolio that only shows the wins is not a portfolio, it’s an advertisement.

Built with: Custom JavaScript framework · Browser extension SDK
