🔍 1. Struggling with Chrome DevTools? You’re Not Alone.
If you’re a developer or designer who frequently opens Chrome Developer Tools to inspect element styles, debug layouts, or pull colors from a page—you probably know the feeling:
- Digging through endless layers of HTML just to find one CSS property
- Using the box model diagram to calculate padding and margins manually
- Trying to align elements using visual guesswork
- Clicking through multiple folders to download all images from a site
- Despite the power of Chrome DevTools, they weren’t designed for fast, visual inspection during real-world projects or handoffs between developers and designers.
đź’ˇ 2. The Problem: DevTools Are Powerful, but Not Fast
When you’re in the zone—building or reviewing UIs—you want answers quickly:
- “What’s the spacing between these two cards?”
- “Is this button aligned with the nav bar?”
- “What’s that exact background color?”
- “Can I just grab all assets in one go?” You could do all this with traditional web tools like Chrome Dev Tools, but they’re built for deep inspection—not speed. And this is exactly where smarter developer tooling can change the game.
⚙️ 3. My Solution: A Visual Web Inspector for Real Work
After spending too much time on routine tasks like inspecting styles and debugging layout issues, I built a Chrome extension to solve it:
👉 It’s a modern web inspector that works the way you do:
- Point-and-click spacing checks
- Instant CSS insights
- One-click site color palette exports
- Easy tools to download all images from site
I use it every day now—and it’s significantly improved how I inspect elements and fix layout issues.
⚡ 4. What I Use It For (Daily Developer Workflow)
âś… Inspect Element Faster
Instead of clicking through DevTools, I just hover to see all the CSS properties I care about. It’s perfect for quick reviews or design QA.
âś… Check Distances Visually
Select any element, hover another, and the spacing between them appears instantly. It also draws alignment guides, so you know exactly how elements relate visually on the page.
âś… Explore and Export Site Color Palettes
It detects every color used on the page and lets you export the full site color palette with a single click. Great for redesigns or building consistent UI kits.
âś… Download All Images from a Page
Assets are often buried deep in code or loaded dynamically. This tool scans the DOM and helps you download all images from a site in seconds.
đź§° 5. Built for Developers, Designers, and Makers
