300 Installs of DX Toolkit 🚀

Coddio Develop — Thu, 15 Oct 2026 14:24:32 +0000

Last week, I shared an update when DX Toolkit crossed its first major milestone. Today, we've officially reached 300 installations on the Chrome Web Store.

For a free, zero-marketing browser extension built entirely during nights and weekends, hitting this number means a lot. More importantly, seeing developers actually keep it in their daily workflow and trust it across tabs proves that solving real friction points matters.

Where We Are Today

DX Toolkit has grown into a robust, 9-module floating companion designed to eliminate context-switching without getting in your way:

Storage Scout: Inspect and edit localStorage, sessionStorage, cookies, and IndexedDB with live syntax highlighting and site-wide usage breakdowns.
Swagger Seeker: Instantly filter OpenAPI endpoints by method or keyword, and download raw specs on the fly.
Viewport Viewer: Test responsive layouts and smart TV breakpoints with state-preserving device frames.
Routing Report & Palette Probe: Track SPA navigation metrics and live-edit CSS variables instantly.
Outline Hunter, Vision Validator, PERT Planner, and more.

The Core Principles Haven't Changed

Zero-friction architecture: Manifest V3, content-script only, no background service workers, and no remote calls.
Privacy first: Only requests local storage permissions. Fully client-side with zero tracking or analytics.

We Are Just Getting Started

Reaching 300 installs is an incredible validation, but our vision is set firmly on the long run. We are continuously refining performance, adding requested features, and polishing the developer experience.

DX Toolkit - A humble attempt to redefine WebDev experience 🚀

I'm a frontend tech lead by day, and in my spare time (nights/weekends) I've been building DX Toolkit 🚀 — a free Chrome extension that drops a floating panel into any tab with the tools I kept wishing were built into the browser.

No ads, no marketing budget, just sharing on LinkedIn and with friends — and somehow it's sitting at 271 installs, only 13 uninstalls, and 34 weekly active users. Not huge numbers, but enough that I think it's worth putting in front of people who actually live in dev tools all day.

What's in it (9 modules so far):

Storage Scout — browse/edit localStorage, sessionStorage, cookies, and IndexedDB, with a per-site usage breakdown
Swagger Seeker — filter OpenAPI/Swagger UIs by keyword or HTTP method, download the raw spec
Viewport Viewer — realistic device mockups (phone/tablet/4K/8K TV) that preserve scroll + form state when switching
Routing Report — SPA navigation history (pushState, params, query, timing)
Palette Probe — scan and live-edit a page's CSS custom properties
Outline Hunter, Vision Validator (color blindness/low-vision simulation), Super Search, PERT Planner, and many mooore! 🚀

Why it might earn your trust, not just your install:

Manifest V3, content-script only — no background service worker, no remote calls
Only requests the storage permission, nothing else
No analytics, no tracking, fully client-side

Genuinely here for criticism as much as praise — what's missing, what's redundant, what would make you uninstall it on the spot.
