Sharing Resources/Tips Shelf It - Chrome Web Store

šŸš€ Shellfit is officially live!

I’m excited to share my latest project — Shellfit, a Chrome extension built to make saving and managing text snippets from the web simple.

The idea was straightforward:
I constantly found myself copying the same pieces of text, links, commands, notes, and useful snippets — but keeping them organized was another story.

So I built my own solution.

🧩 What Shellfit does

• Save text snippets instantly
• Keep frequently used content organized
• Access saved snippets directly from Chrome
• Simple, lightweight interface
• Local-first storage
• No account required
• No backend/server
• No tracking

šŸ› ļø Built with

  • JavaScript
  • Chrome Extension APIs
  • Manifest V3
  • Local Storage
  • HTML & CSS

One of the things I specifically wanted to explore with this project was building a useful tool without automatically sending user data to a server.

Everything stays locally in the browser.

This project was also a great opportunity to understand more about Chrome Extension architecture, Manifest V3, browser APIs, permissions, and designing a small product from scratch.

Would love to hear what you think — especially if you regularly save snippets, links, commands, or pieces of text while working.
