# #100DaysHandsfree
The goal of #100DaysHandsfree (opens new window) is to implement Handsfree.js in as wide a range of sites, web games, and web apps as possible. Each day or so I'll be handsfree-ifying a different website, which you can track below:
Going to start #100DaysHandsfree, where I handsfree-ify 1 website, game, or app everyday with the Handsfree Browser Extension
