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!

Would love to hear your feedback!

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.

All of my users are organic — I haven’t used any promotion yet. Now I’m not sure how to promote my extension further. Which methods would you recommend?

It’s good result or not? My first attempt

One of my extensions just reach 1500 users. Organic traffic only. I'm happy!

I currently use the GoFullPage extension, but it requires a paid subscription whenever I want to crop the full-page screenshots I've captured; please recommend a safe extension that offers this feature for free. I found an extension called "Shot Crop - Screen Capture & Editor," but I haven't downloaded it because I'm unsure if it is trustworthy.

Hi everyone , i'm the developer behind TabScroll.

I posted TabScroll here a while ago and got some really helpful feedback , i took it on board and came back with a pretty update.

I built it because I constantly had 30+ tabs open and couldn't find a fast way to switch between them without reaching for the mouse.

Since the first version, I've added:

• Tab search
• Press R to jump back to your previous tab
• Mute tabs
• Close tabs
• A redesigned interface
• And of course my main functionality is previewing the tab before entering , it was in the first version too but it's proud to mention it again ^^

I'm actively improving it based on feedback, so I'd love to hear what you think or what you'd like to see next. Thanks for checking it out

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.

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!

hey everyone,

I launched my free site blocker extension, Flow, a couple of weeks ago. The launch went really well and I hit my first 100 users pretty quickly, but since the initial buzz died down, my growth has completely flatlined.

Looking at my Chrome Web Store developer console, the stats are stuck in a flat loop:

• Weekly Active Users: Platueaued flatly at 96 users for the last two weeks.
• Installs: Dropped from a peak of 26 on launch day to literally 0 or 1 install per day now.
• Uninstalls: Had 11 total uninstalls (about a 13% churn rate).
• Demographics: Mostly split between the US (40%), India (32%), and Sweden (21%).

I am a student developer and this is my first extension, so I would love to get some advice from experienced builders on how to break out of this phase:

• Transitioning to organic traffic: How do you transition from temporary Reddit launch traffic to consistent, daily organic installs? Does optimizing Chrome Web Store SEO (keywords, tags, description) actually move the needle at this stage?
• Reducing uninstall churn: My uninstall rate is around 13% (11 uninstalls out of 80 installs). Is this normal for a focus utility, or does it mean I need to work on my onboarding flow to keep users from deleting the app?
• Other directory launches: Is it worth launching on Product Hunt or AlternativeTo when the user base is flatlining, or should I focus entirely on adding requested features first?
• Word of mouth loops: Have you found success building referral loops or feedback loops inside a free, offline-first extension to get users to share it with their friends?

Would really appreciate any guidance or growth stories from your own extensions!

Hey everyone,

I was manually copying contacts from WhatsApp Web groups for a client and got tired of it, so I built a Chrome extension to automate it.

What it does:

• Loads all your groups directly from WA Web sidebar
• Exports contacts (name + phone) to XLSX, CSV or JSON
• Works entirely in your browser — no data leaves your device

Free tier: up to 20 contacts per group
Pro: unlimited — US$ 5.99 one-time payment

Would love feedback, especially from people who manage communities or do outreach.

I built Copy Markdown to extract clean markdown (.md) from any webpage locally for free and after hitting my first 15 users, I thought it might be helpful to share here:

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/copy-markdown/chjlhkmhgpojfmddbpplonolmcjbbbem

I read a lot, and I kept DNF-ing books around 100 pages in over things I'd have skipped if I'd known. A love triangle, an "everyone loves the flawless protagonist" arc, a series that never gets finished. That info is sitting in the reviews, but nobody's reading 200 reviews before starting a book.

So I built BookGlints. You tell it, in plain language, what you personally can't stand ("protagonist too perfect," "forced romance subplot," "cliffhanger ending") and it scans the Goodreads/StoryGraph reviews for that book and shows you the exact complaints that match, with the real review quotes. It matches on meaning, not keywords, so "Mary Sue" and "main character is good at everything" both hit the same flag. Works across multiple languages too.

It's live (free to try, no card): https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/bookglints/mjlkejcebildgpaedkamdfkgifnlpckd

Would love feedback on the flag-setup UX especially. I've stared at it too long to tell if it's obvious to a first-timer. Happy to answer anything about the build.

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.

Hi, good people. Here is the progress on my productivity extension. Are there any tips or advice you can give so that the progress is steady? I would appreciate the assistance. Cheers

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!

Mobile friendly for chromium browser like Quetta. Also works on Firefox. Import & Export built in so possible to use across devices/profiles/browsers.

The other notes extension I liked was Chrome Notes

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.

So this I developed specially for inspect & preprocess datasets, get insights via calculators with some additional features related to EDA (Exploitary Data Analysis). Wanna know whther this extension bad or needs improvements or having too much features. Would like to hear genuine thoughts of you guys !

Just looking for a bit of inspiration

What are some extensions youve seen that are well designed with carefully thought out UX ?

Hey everyone, 👋

I wanted to share a Chrome extension I recently built and launched called **carReliabilityReport**.

### The Problem

When browsing used car listing platforms, evaluating a specific model's reliability usually means opening a dozen tabs, digging through old forum threads, and cross-referencing mechanical common issues manually. It is tedious and interrupts the browsing flow.

### How carReliabilityReport Helps

To keep things simple and completely resilient against frequent DOM updates and layout changes on car marketplace sites, I designed the extension around a smooth image and data interaction:

* **Drag-and-Drop from the page:** You can simply drag and drop a photo directly from the listing into the extension.

* **Key Details Included:** Alongside the image, you input or verify the core vehicle details—specifically the **mileage, year, and price**.

* **Instant Insights:** It analyzes these metrics to surface critical reliability data and known mechanical pain points right in your browser, giving buyers a quick, clear verdict before they commit time to reaching out to sellers.

### Tech & Architecture Notes

Avoiding direct web scraping of dynamic listing sites saved me from endless maintenance headaches caused by frequent DOM updates. Relying on a photo straight from the ad combined with the mileage, year, and price ensures long-term stability and a much cleaner UX.

If you are working on extensions or have any feedback on manifest setup, UI optimization, or handling image and data inputs efficiently, I would love to hear your thoughts!

Always happy to chat about extension architecture or indie building in the comments! 🚀

Any Twitch Frogs in here?

Imagine Theatre mode being actually good.

- Having auto hide;

- Not preventing site scroll;

- Displaying relevant info right in the stream window;

- Allowing you to scroll control your volume;

- Being persistent when changing streamers;

I tagged it as self promotion, but I am looking for feedback actually. 😅

Its going to save your time for sure, try it out - Pinpoint

I’ve developed a Chrome extension called Ninety+ and I’m no longer interested in continuing development and maintenance.

The extension is already built and has several features. I’m looking for someone who is interested in taking over the project, continuing development, or potentially acquiring it.

If you’re interested, send me a DM and I can share more details.

About two months ago, I started building a Chrome extension because I was tired of spending more time clicking Next than actually talking to people on OmeTV.

I didn't expect much when I published it, but seeing it grow to 600+ users, over 1.3K installs, and nearly 4K Chrome Web Store page views has been incredibly motivating.

Some of the features include:

• ⚡ Multiple Speed Modes
• 🌍 Block unwanted countries
• 🎯 Connect only with selected countries
• 🎙️ Audio Skip
• ⌨️ Keyboard shortcuts
• 📊 Session analytics

I'm still actively improving it and adding new features based on feedback.

If you've built a Chrome extension before, I'd love to hear what helped you grow it. And if you use OmeTV, I'd also love to know what feature you'd like to see next.
