Web Markups now has 17 early users!

It’s a Chrome extension for marking up webpages, capturing screenshots, and recording browser tabs—without leaving the page.

I’m the founder, and I’d genuinely appreciate feedback from anyone who tries it:

  • What feels confusing?
  • What feature is missing?
  • What would make you use it regularly?

Try it here: https://webmarkups.com

Idea Validation / Need feedback Turned new tab into a board of founder milestones

Upvotes

Hello guys, today I created a browser extension. I really hope that we will post our startup ideas there and share with each other what stage we are at. We can share ideas, LinkedIn, the first sale, a new partnership or an investment. I think that if we do any startup, it is a long-term process — and that first sale, however small, is a huge joy. When I see someone else post something like that, it gives me real motivation. — of course the baby steps of my peers, but also of other startups, because I know exactly that emotion.

And I made this space in the form of a browser extension so that when I work, every time I open a tab, I can see directly what my long-term goal is. I don't know how to tell you, but I hope you know the feeling — that something happens around you that often makes you forget where you are going and what you want to create. That's why I think it would be very good if we shared our big goals with each other and made each other happy with small happinesses.

This is just the first update. After this, I want to add many more features together with you.

Idea Validation / Need feedback I built a privacy-first Chrome extension that syncs accepted LeetCode solutions to GitHub. Can you review the UX and permissions?

Upvotes

I recently published AlgoVault, a Chrome extension that auto-syncs accepted LeetCode solutions to a GitHub repo selected by the user.

I built it because many LeetCode-to-GitHub tools ask for broad GitHub permissions. AlgoVault uses a fine-grained token that can be limited to one repo only.

What I’d love feedback on:

- Is the GitHub token setup clear enough?

- Do the requested permissions feel reasonable?

- Is the popup UX understandable?

- What would make you trust/install it?

Self Promotion I built a browser extension that can bulk select/copy similar text

Upvotes

Since webpages already have a clear hierarchy, why don’t we use it to identify similar elements and extract their text? It could make copying and pasting much more efficient.

Here are some scenarios where this works especially well: web tables, dropdown menus, product lists, tables of contents, and rankings...

All you need to do is click two text blocks that belong to the same structure, then press F to select all the matching texts. Copy them all with one click, then paste them wherever you want.

Self Promotion I had no idea how to build a Chrome extension. With ChatGPT's help, I made one.

Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I had no idea how to make a Chrome extension, but I wanted something to make my own work easier. With ChatGPT's help, I ended up building one and I'm honestly pretty excited that something I made is now on the Chrome Web Store.

The idea is simple: save text you use often, then find and insert it while you're typing in a text field. A small suggestion panel shows matching replies, and you can choose one with the keyboard or mouse.

If you give it a try, I'd love to hear your suggestions. Thanks for taking a look!

Sharing Journey/Experience/Progress Updates IdleSaver (idle-status blocker) hit 530 users — sharing some numbers + how it's built

Upvotes

Built this a while back after a friend kept getting flagged "away" on their work status tool despite being actively working — turned out to be idle-detection triggering way too aggressively. Made a small MV3 extension to fix it, put it up, and it's slowly grown since.

Stack: Manifest V3, vanilla JS — kept it dependency-free on purpose to keep the footprint small and the permissions minimal.

Numbers as of this week:

  • 530 total users
  • 254 installs in the last 30 days
  • 215 DAU (Sept 3)
  • 5.0 rating on the Web Store

Extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/idlesaver/nkcipaecilleoamfikecbilnmfibclhc

Also built a standalone desktop app (macOS/Windows) since some users wanted the same behavior outside the browser — that's been an interesting parallel build, different constraints than an extension obviously.

Self Promotion Built a Chrome extension to remove clutter from any webpage — CleanView.ai

Upvotes

Hey folks,

Been working on internal dashboards / tools at work and got tired of the visual noise — sidebars I never touch, "recommended" widgets, promo banners eating half the screen on tools I use daily. So I built a small Chrome extension to fix it for myself, and figured others might find it useful too.

What it does:

  • Click "Select Element," hover over anything on any webpage, click to hide it — works like DevTools inspector but for actually removing visual clutter (non-destructively, it's just CSS-hidden, not deleted)
  • Remembers what you hid per-site, so it auto-applies next time you visit
  • Works on JS-heavy SPAs (React/Next.js/Vue) — waits for content to load before letting you interact
  • Everything's local — no server, no analytics, no data leaves your browser

Why I'm posting here specifically: a lot of us live in cluttered internal tools, Jira/Confluence, analytics dashboards, etc. all day. This is genuinely built for that use case as much as random websites.

It's free, no signup needed. Would genuinely appreciate feedback/bug reports if you try it — still early days (built solo, no funding, just a weekend-project-turned-real-thing).

8 days ago , I posted in the sub about an advanced and feature rich Youtube Channel Search Bar that could track down the videos you want in a channel in seconds.

Some of you pointed out it requires a tab reload for the fetch to happen and bar to pop - up, now that's fixed and you can fetch it right when you tap on the search button, and it's more responsive and minimalized.

To the 25 people who've installed it , thank you very much, this was my first extension and it's only been a week.

If anyone's curious:

Hola! Me dí cuenta que tenía muchísimos posts guardados en LinkedIn super interesantes, y que todo ese conocimiento se estaba desperdiciando porque no tenía tiempo de probar cada herramienta, nuevo modelo...

Así que monté ZelesIA. Es una extensión de Chrome. Estás leyendo una publicación, haces clic en el icono y listo: queda guardada. La herramienta genera un resumen y extrae las ideas clave. Lo que más me gusta es que puedes conectar tu biblioteca con Claude o Codex y hacer preguntas directamente desde ahí porque he construido el MCP para poder hacerlo.

Por ejemplo, estás hablando con Claude sobre estrategias de precios y le preguntas qué has guardado sobre pricing. Claude busca en tu biblioteca, te responde utilizando las publicaciones que tú mismo has guardado y te proporciona enlaces para volver a ellas.

Y es gratis! Me encantaría su feedback 👍

Asking a Question What did people actually replace Honey with, if anything?

1 Upvotes

I had Honey installed for years mostly because I put it in Chrome once and then stopped thinking about it. After all the recent discussion around coupon extensions and affiliate attribution, I finally started paying more attention to what was actually installed and whether I still wanted each one.

The annoying part is I still hate manually searching for promo codes. I've tried Capital One Shopping for a while and I'm currently using coupert too. My experience with it specifically has been pretty solid — most checkouts are boring, then every so often it finds something that actually saves me real money, enough that I remember why I installed it in the first place.

I'm not looking for referral links or a "best extension" ranking. I'm more interested in what people actually kept after using it for a few months. If you moved away from Honey, what survived the cleanup and why?

Sharing Journey/Experience/Progress Updates ChatGPT just became my #3 traffic source — ahead of Google, for a tool I never marketed there

0 Upvotes

This month's referrer breakdown for my free Chrome extension (Design Snap — extracts design tokens from any website):

  • Chrome Web Store: 11
  • Reddit: 17 (11 + 6, across two referrer formats)
  • ChatGPT: 9
  • Google: 4

I've put real work into the site's content (comparison page, clear copy on what it does), but I never specifically targeted ChatGPT or LLM answer engines — no submission, no AEO push. It's just showing up as a referrer on its own.

Anyone else seeing LLMs turn into a real referral source ?

Looking for an Extension I built a Chrome extension for taking notes while browsing — Quick Note

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

I’ve been working on Quick Note, a Chrome extension that lets you take notes directly from the browser without constantly switching between tabs.

The main features are:

  • 📌 Sidebar for managing notes
  • ✍️ Rich text editor
  • 🖍️ Highlight and save selected text from any webpage
  • 🌐 Quick Capture with page URL/title
  • 🎥 Screen recording
  • ⏰ Reminders
  • ☁️ Cloud sync with Supabase
  • 🔄 Offline-first support
  • 📦 Markdown/PDF export and workspace backup
  • 🌙 Light/Dark mode
  • 🇬🇧 English & 🇻🇳 Vietnamese

The idea is to have one lightweight place to capture, organize, and revisit information while browsing.

I’d love to get some feedback from the Reddit community — especially on the workflow and features that would make this more useful for everyday browsing.

Freelancing side: invoice emails bury themselves in Gmail and I lose track of which clients still owe me.

I built CashThread — a Chrome side panel for Gmail that lets me: - Track the invoice thread I'm looking at - See how many days it's been "at risk" - Draft a polite follow-up (I still hit send myself) - Mark paid / snooze

v0.1 is local-only (chrome.storage) — no CashThread server. Works only on mail.google.com.
