Show HN: Built an extension that let's you hide/show your Slack conversations

Made an extension for the few users who use Slack in a browser. It hides your Slack conversations with a blur effect until you hover over them or unblur with a global keyboard shortcut

Why did I build this?

I used one that hides WhatsApp messages. Made one for Slack as well.

Some example scenarios:

- You're presenting in a meeting and want to share something from a particular chat. Just hit the shortcut key and all private messages instantly blur and you can unblur once you have the right conversation window open.

- You don't want your nosy co-workers or curious onlookers peeping onto your screen to read your conversations.

Features:

- Configurable global keyboard shortcut that works from everywhere.

- Blur messages, media, reactions, etc.

- Works in both [Chrome](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/bbingmciigmeflfjajc...) and [Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/privacy-exten...).
