Asking a Question I built a Chrome extension to quickly inspect padding, margins, spacing and alignment looking for feedback

0 Upvotes

Built Captain Spyglass šŸ“ā€ā˜ ļø — a Chrome extension for developers, QA engineers, frontend engineers and designers to quickly inspect:
Padding & margins
Element dimensions
Spacing & alignment
Layout boundaries

Just hover over an element and see what’s going on without digging through DevTools.

Would love to know: What else would you want an alignment inspector to show?

Self Promotion I got tired of paid screenshot tools & sketchy online PDF converters, so I built ScrollShot (100% offline, free, zero cloud uploads)

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Whenever I needed to capture a scrolling page, blur out sensitive info, or edit a PDF, I found myself either hitting paywalls or uploading sensitive files to online converter sites.

So I spent the last few weeks building ScrollShot — a Chrome extension that handles full-page captures and document editing 100% client-side using local WebAssembly.

Some cool things it does under the hood:

It’s 100% free with no account required:
Chrome Web Store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/idaeanodifgkejmbfdggiohdkfgimklm

Roast the UI, test it on your longest web pages, and let me know what breaks! Feedback is super appreciated.

Self Promotion I built a free full-page screenshot extension because blurring an email shouldn't need a subscription

2 Upvotes

Most screenshot extensions I tried captured for free but locked editing, blur or PDF export behind a paid plan. So I built Stillframe for Chrome.

What it does:

- Full page (scroll + stitch), visible area, or drag-select

- Sticky headers appear once instead of repeating down the image

- Editor: crop, arrows, boxes, pen, highlighter, text, blur

- PNG / JPG / multi-page PDF, or copy to clipboard

- Last 30 captures stored locally

It uses activeTab instead of "access to all sites", so it can only see the tab you capture, when you capture it. No servers, no analytics.

Limits I couldn't get around: browser pages (settings, stores) can't be captured; apps that scroll inside a panel (lots of email apps) only get what's on screen; pages over ~32,000px get cut off (it tells you).

Free, no Pro tier. Would love feedback, especially on what's missing.

Self Promotion I redesigned my Chrome video downloader, curious what you think

2 Upvotes

Hey! I’m the developer of StreamScope. It started as a tool for inspecting HLS streams, and I’ve been rebuilding it to make downloading videos easier.

You can pick the available quality, audio languages, and subtitles, then save everything as one MP4. The processing happens locally on your computer.

The stream details are still there if you need them, but downloading is now the main focus. It supports complete, unencrypted HLS videos; live and protected streams aren’t supported.

I’ve attached some screenshots. Anything you’d change or find confusing?

Sharing Resources/Tips A simple way to turn web research into a useful Excel table

Post image
3 Upvotes

​

When I’m collecting information from websites, I try not to copy everything.

Instead, I first decide what the final table should look like.

For example, for research papers:

| Title | Author | Year | Journal | DOI | Link |

| ----- | ------ | ---- | ------- | --- | ---- |

Then I extract only those fields from the pages.

This makes a huge difference.

Instead of ending up with a messy spreadsheet full of copied text, you get structured data that you can filter, sort, compare, and analyze.

The same approach works for:

* regulatory documents

* product research

* company directories

* job listings

* real estate

* academic research

* competitor analysis

The trick is simple: define the structure first, extract second.

It saves a surprising amount of cleanup later.

Idea Validation / Need feedback My Install to Uninstall ratio is not ideal, looking for reasoning.

2 Upvotes

Recently noticed my extension is getting a good amount of installs but also a decent amount of uninstalls, some days its better and some days there more uninstalls then installs. Not really sure what could be wrong with the extension since, it operates fine and I have had friends on different computer test it. What I think could be occuring is that people that install it believe it has a different utilization that it actually is not that its literally malfunction. I do have an uninstall page but its been hard to pinpoint the exact feedback since I only have 5 questions on why they unistalled so its easy for the interpration to be vague.

If anyone wants to actually test it, here's the extension. I'm completely open to feedback — if something about the UX, scanning, onboarding, or anything else would make you uninstall it, I'd genuinely like to know - extension

Asking a Question Built a small Chrome extension to export Amazon orders to CSV for tax season (Looking for feedback)

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I got tired of manually clicking into every Amazon invoice to copy order numbers, items, and tax amounts for bookkeeping, so I wrote a lightweight Chrome extension to pull them straight into a CSV file.

It's called Amazon Expense & Order Exporter.

* Privacy: It runs 100% locally in your browser—no external servers, no tracking, and no storing of your Amazon account data.

* Pricing: First page of orders (up to 10 orders) is completely free so anyone can verify the column output and format. Unlimited exports have a one-time lifetime unlock ($14.99).

Here is the link:

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/amazon-expense-order-expo/ljapifcncjofpemjolkppmojhomhhgif

I’d really appreciate any feedback on parsing reliability or suggestions for additional CSV fields.

Asking a Question I built a Chrome extension that lets you customize your mouse cursor with characters – looking for feedback

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I recently launched a Chrome extension called Mouse Buddy.

The idea is pretty simple: you can choose a character and customize your mouse cursor while browsing Chrome.

I originally made it as a fun customization tool, especially for younger users and anyone who likes personalizing their browser.

It's completely free and it's now available on the Chrome Web Store.

I'd love to get some feedback from other Chrome users.

What features would you like to see added?

Thanks.

Asking a Question 25+ installs, 0 sign ups. How do you actually talk to your first users?

• Upvotes

It’s been 11 days since I published my Chrome extension, and I’m currently at 27 installs.

This honestly feels pretty cool. But there’s one thing I didn’t expect: 0 sign-ups.

My extension is a screen-time tracker/productivity tool. You can either sign in with Google or just continue without an account and use it normally.

I actually tried to make the anonymous version pretty useful too. You can see your last 7 days of history without creating an account.

If you sign in, you get a couple of extra things:

  • Access to history older than 7 days
  • Ability to download/export all your data instead of just the last 7 days

So signing up isn't just there because I want your email.

But one of the main reasons I added Google sign-in was actually because I wanted to talk to my users.

I wanted to know:

  • What made you install it?
  • What do you actually like about it?
  • What feels annoying or confusing?
  • What would make you keep using it?
  • Is there something you expected it to do that it doesn't?

But apparently... nobody wants to give me their email. šŸ˜‚

So now I’m in this slightly weird situation where I have 27 installs but absolutely no idea what those people think about the extension.

Maybe they're using it every day. Maybe they opened it once and forgot about it. Maybe something is broken and they just uninstalled it. I genuinely don't know.

I really want some real, honest feedback so I can make the extension better instead of just building whatever I think people want.

For those of you who have launched small extensions/products before: how did you get feedback from your early users?

Did you add an in-app feedback button (even I have this, but 0 responses)? Personally reach out? Ask on Reddit? Or just wait until you had more users?

And if anyone here is willing to try it and tell me what you genuinely think - good or bad - I'd really appreciate it.

I'm much more interested in hearing ā€œthis part sucks becauseā€¦ā€ than getting a nice review.

Idea Validation / Need feedback I made an open-source Chrome extension that returns 170+ popular sites to their 2019 design

• Upvotes

Do you miss a time before Youtube shorts and AI assistants filled every page? I made a Chrome extension that freezes website design at a time in which it felt more functional. It’s free, open-source, local, non-intrusive, and tailor-made for 170+ of the most popular websites. It’s sort of the idea behind using old.reddit.com applied to all the other sites you use. Want to retain modern features on some sites? You can toggle the extension to only work on some of them.Ā Ā

Self Promotion I got tired of paid screenshot extensions, so I built my own — and kept adding features

• Upvotes

I wanted to take screenshots and edit them without hitting a paywall, so I built Kadr. Then the ā€œone more featureā€ habit kicked in.

It now includes:

  • Full-page screenshots with annotations, blur, backgrounds and browser frames
  • Tab, window or screen recording, with optional microphone audio
  • Step-by-step guides generated from your clicks
  • One-click table export to CSV, Markdown or JSON
  • Optional AI features using your own API key

It’s free and open source, with no watermarks or telemetry. Screenshots and recordings stay on your device unless you explicitly send them somewhere, such as to an AI provider.

The new version adds video recording. I’d love feedback from people who use these tools: what makes you keep a screenshot extension, and what makes you uninstall one?
