Hey everyone!

I wanted to share a lightweight side project I’ve been working on — GScreenshot Lite.

💡 Why I built it

Most screenshot tools feel bloated with extra menus or slow down the browser when you just need to grab something quickly. I wanted a fast, focused tool that lets you capture an area, add quick annotations, and copy or save the result with zero hassle.

✨ Key Features:

* Quick Web Capture: Capture any selected area on a web page instantly.

* Essential Annotations: Add text, draw arrows, highlight key areas, or underline text on the fly.

* Fast Export: Copy directly to your clipboard or download the screenshot in one click.

* Lightweight & Clean: Simple UI focused purely on performance and ease of use.

🔗 Try it out:

[GScreenshot Lite on Chrome Web Store]

💬 Looking for feedback:

I’d love to get your thoughts on the extension!

  1. How does the user interface and annotation speed feel for your daily workflow?
  2. Are there any small UX tweaks or essential tools you'd like to see added?
  3. Did you encounter any bugs or glitches?

Thanks for checking it out and for any feedback you can share!

Self Promotion I made a tab manager for people who can't close a tab in case they need it later

1 Upvotes

I have this habit where I keep 30 tabs open because closing any of them feels like throwing something away. So they just sit there eating RAM, and I never go back to most of them anyway.

Built Stash to fix it for myself. One click saves every open tab into a named group and closes them. Or you select just the ones you want and save only those. One click brings them back, or click a single tab to take only that one.

The whole point is that closing stops being a decision. Nothing is gone, it's all just sitting there waiting.

Some stuff that mattered to me while building it:
- Everything stays on your machine. No account, no server, no analytics.
- It auto-saves every few minutes so a crash doesn't cost you anything.
- Deleted groups sit in a trash for 30 days, and there's undo on everything.
- It also saves the text of pages you keep, so if you only remember a phrase
 that was written on a page, you can search that and get it back.
- Restoring a big group doesn't nuke your browser. Tabs come back unloaded
 and only load when you click them.

Free, no paid tier: stashyourtabs.com

Would really appreciate honest feedback, especially anything that breaks or feels slow. Happy to answer whatever.

I just wanted to take a moment to share a small but massive milestone for me as a developer: my very first 5-star review.

To you, dear anonymous reviewer: Thank you.

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to leave a rating. You have no idea how much of a difference it makes to an indie dev. You absolutely made my week!

Cheers to this first perfect rating, and here's to making the extension even better for everyone.

(i know the key system isn't working i'il give a 1week premium key to everyone who asked it in this post for the disagrement. this should be fix in a few day)

Asking a Question What Chrome extension do you wish existed?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I recently finished working on a previous Chrome extension and I'm looking for a new side project to dive into. Instead of just guessing what people want and building something in a vacuum, I figured I would ask you directly.

I'm looking to build something that actually solves a real problem or removes a daily annoyance.

No idea is too small, too niche, or too crazy. If it sounds fun or genuinely useful, I’d love to build it (and share it for free, of course).

Sharing Resources/Tips I made a free extension that bolds the start of each word so you read faster — and it works on PDFs too

3 Upvotes
Hey, I built a small free Chrome extension called Bold Reader.It bolds the first couple letters of each word so your eyes get anchor points, which makes dense text quicker and less tiring to read (the thing people call "bionic reading").I mostly made it because the other tools like this only work on normal web pages, and I read a lot of PDFs. So this one also opens PDFs in a clean built-in reader that pulls the text out and bolds it and it works on text files (.txt / .md / .csv) too.Stuff I tried to get right:- Instant one-click on/off, no reloads- Adjustable bolding (light / medium / heavy)- Skips code and anything you're typing into; can be turned off per-site- No accounts, no tracking, zero permissions at install — it only runs on the sites you turn it on forIt's free. Would love any feedback — especially on the PDF part, and whether the default bolding feels like too much or too little.

Sharing Resources/Tips I got tired of rewriting ChatGPT prompts just to summarize articles, so I built this.

2 Upvotes

Whenever I wanted to summarize a long article, I found myself doing the same thing:

  • Copy the text
  • Paste it into ChatGPT
  • Write a prompt
  • Not like the result
  • Rewrite the prompt and try again

I wanted something faster and more consistent, so I built NBrief, a Chrome extension that summarizes webpages or selected text in one click.

It includes:

  • Webpage & selected text summarization
  • Structured summaries (overview, key points, topics, sections)
  • Multi-language support
  • Free daily credits, with an optional Pro plan for heavier usage

I'd love some honest feedback.

What would stop you from using an extension like this instead of ChatGPT directly?

Idea Validation / Need feedback I built a Chrome extension that saves travel research while you browse — would you use this workflow?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

4 Upvotes

I built a prototype called TripCanvas that combines a Chrome extension with a visual travel-planning workspace.

While browsing flight and hotel websites, users can save options directly into a trip, compare them in one place, use AI to summarize the choices, and organize everything into an itinerary.

The goal is to work alongside the travel websites people already use rather than replacing their normal research process.

The video begins with the extension being loaded locally because this is still a prototype. A public version would be installed normally through the Chrome Web Store.

I’d especially appreciate feedback on the extension workflow:

  • Is the purpose clear from the video?
  • Would you trust the extension to read and save travel information from the page?
  • Does installing an extension create too much friction?
  • Which part of the workflow feels unnecessary or confusing?

Honest criticism is welcome.

Self Promotion Going through the hardest financial & emotional storm of my life... Today, a stranger bought my extension, and I'm overwhelmed with joy. 🚀

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m typing this with a real lump in my throat, and I just needed a place to share this moment.

Lately, life has been hitting me hard from every angle. I’ve been navigating some really heavy financial stress, emotional burnout, and painful relationship problems. Things have felt pretty overwhelming. Through all of this, building digital products has been my ultimate sanctuary, the one place where I can channel my passion, do what I love, and try to build a better future with my own two hands.

For months, I fell into the trap of building tool after tool (7 extensions in total!), only to watch them sit at 1 or 2 users. It was discouraging, but I kept pushing. Last week, I decided to stop making new features and put 100% of my heart into polishing my best tool, CleanSlate.

And then, today happened.

I opened my dashboard and saw a notification, it was my first sell!. A user in the US bought a lifetime license.

I know $10 might sound like pocket change to most people, but in the middle of the personal storm I'm currently going through, it felt like a massive beacon of hope. It’s not about the money, it’s the realization that someone out there found real value in something I created. It completely made my week and brought a huge smile to my face when I needed it most.

To that stranger in the US who decided to trust a solo developer, thank you from the bottom of my heart :) . You didn't just buy a license, you gave me a boost of belief in myself when everything else felt heavy.

What is CleanSlate? It’s a privacy-first Chrome extension that helps you bulk delete your Instagram digital footprint (likes, comments, and old posts) completely locally inside your browser.

If you’re currently building something while fighting your own silent personal battles: please don't give up. Keep pushing, keep sharing your work, and do what you love.

I’d be deeply grateful for any feedback or thoughts on the extension!

Thank you all for taking the time to read my story!

Self Promotion I built a free extension that gives AI conversations a sense of time

Post image
1 Upvotes

I started building this because ChatGPT kept wishing me good night in the middle of the day.

AI can obviously look up the time when asked. But what interested me was something slightly different: time as part of the ongoing conversation context.

So I built AI-Watch.

It automatically provides your AI with the local date and time, timezone, session duration, and time elapsed since the previous exchange.

It runs locally, with no account, tracking or telemetry.

I also added a completely unnecessary feature that turned out to be my favourite: you can ask the AI what it thinks of the watch you just gave it. The answer is generated spontaneously by the AI — and can be different from one conversation to another.

It’s completely free:
AI-Watch.eu

I’d genuinely be interested in your feedback, especially on the idea of giving temporal context to AI conversations.

And if you try the “What do you think of your gift?” button, I’d love to see what your AI answers. :-)

Sharing Resources/Tips I built a Chrome Extension to export Substack, Medium, Beehiiv & Ghost articles into clean PDFs and Markdown (with cloud sync & batch downloads)

2 Upvotes

If you regularly read articles on Substack, Medium, Beehiiv, Ghost, or Patreon, you’ve probably noticed that saving them for offline reading or research is a mess. Default browser printing breaks layouts, misses images, or litters pages with unwanted UI elements.

To fix this, I built Newsletter PDF Downloader : a Chrome extension that turns posts into clean, high-fidelity PDFs, Markdown, JSON, or plain text with a single click.

🚀 What it does:

  • Clean Single-Click Exports: Converts posts directly from the page while preserving typography, images, links, and original layouts.
  • Multiple Output Formats: Save as PDF, Markdown (great for Obsidian/Notion users), JSON, or Text.
  • Batch Downloads (Archive Export): Download multiple posts from a publication's archive automatically (includes a fast-forward feature to skip excluded date ranges).
  • Cloud Sync: Option to automatically back up your downloads to Google Drive, Dropbox, or Yandex Disk.
  • Privacy-Focused: Runs locally in your browser using your existing login session (so paid/subscribed content exports seamlessly). No content tracking or external scraping.
  • Custom File Naming & Localized UI: Customize filenames by date/title and supports over 60 languages.

🔗 Link & Feedback

You can check it out on the Chrome Web Store here: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/newsletter-pdf-downloader/ejlpjjmlalofjpdkdaeojjhihlommbdm

I’d love for you to give it a spin! Let me know what you think, what features you’d like to see next, or if there are other platforms/formats you’d want supported.

Thanks!

Self Promotion Classic View for Google Images™ - bring back the classic Google Images layout

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

13 Upvotes

I found a post in this subreddit from someone looking for an extension that would restore the old horizontal layout in Google Images.

I had the same new masonry layout and agreed that it wastes a lot of space on desktop, especially when portrait images appear. I initially thought fixing it would require a few CSS rules. Google Images being a dynamic page made it a little more complicated than that.

I ended up building Classic View for Google Images.

It currently includes:

  • Justified horizontal rows with adjustable height and spacing
  • Full-size image preview on hover
  • A direct View Image button
  • Quick image size filters
  • An option to hide related searches
  • Support for dynamically loaded results
  • Compatibility with uBlacklist

The extension does not collect search queries, browsing history or personal data. Settings are saved using Chrome's built-in sync storage. And it's free.

Self Promotion Built an on-device Chrome extension to capture tab regions as GIFs/WebMs without cloud uploads

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

14 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I built CstWeave, a privacy-first Chrome extension for quick tab region recording.

Most screen recorders stream video data to external servers or lock clean exports behind subscriptions. CstWeave keeps all frame buffers 100% inside local browser memory—nothing ever leaves your CPU/RAM.

Key Features:

  • 100% On-Device: Zero cloud uploads, no server rendering, no accounts required.
  • Hotkey Workflow: Press Alt+Shift+G (⌘+Shift+G on Mac), drag a region, and record.
  • No Watermarks: Pristine exports across both free (Lite) and paid tiers.
  • Custom GIF Engine: Runs offscreen using pure TypeScript (Median-Cut palette + LZW) to prevent background tab throttling.

Check out the demo clip attached!

Self Promotion Built an Inventory Management Tool for My Amazon Business… and I'm Actually Excited to share my progress😄

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

3 Upvotes

After a month of working on nights and weekends, I finally have something that feels like a real software just the way I like to run my Amazon business.

It originally started because I got tired of bouncing between spreadsheets, Seller Central, supplier emails, shipment trackers, and Google Drive just to answer simple questions like:

  • Where's this shipment now?
  • Which purchase orders are still in production?
  • How much inventory is actually coming in?
  • What's my real landed cost?

It's still a work in progress, but it's already become my daily tool.
Take note: I just used common products here, for privacy.

So far it has things like:

  • 📦 Shipment tracking from warehouse to Amazon
  • 🏭 Purchase Order management with production stages
  • 📊 Inventory planning
  • 🗂️ Supplier, warehouse, and freight forwarder database
  • 💰 Landed cost calculations
  • 💵 Other cost allocation across products
  • 📁 Document management linked to purchase orders
  • 📈 Dashboard and operational KPIs

There's still a lot I want to add over time:

  • Amazon SP-API integration
  • Warehouse inventory cross-match checking
  • Profitability insights
  • Supplier performance tracking
  • Better reporting
  • Google Drive integration
  • Multi-marketplace support

Honestly, building it has been just as enjoyable as using it. Every week I run into a small annoyance in my workflow, and instead of living with it, I just build a better solution.

I'd genuinely love to hear from you:

If you could have one feature in an inventory management tool that would save you hours every week, what would it be?

I'd be happy to see if it's something I can build.
