Table of Contents

Visbug is an amazing new browser extension that allows you to do a visual inspection of your website in development.

What they have to say about their tool and capabilities

  • Point, click & tinker
  • Edit or style any page, in any state, like it’s an artboard
  • Hover inspect styles, accessibility and alignment
  • Nitpick layouts & content, in the real end environment, at any device size
  • Leverage adobe/sketch skills
  • Edit any text, replace any image (hi there copywriters, ux writers, pms)
  • Design within the chaos: use production or prototypes and the odd states they produce, as artboards and design opportunities
  • Design while simulating latency, i18n, media queries, platform constraints, CPUs, screensize, etc
  • Make more decisions on the front end of your site/app (a11y, responsive, edge cases, etc)
  • No waiting for developers to expose their legos, just go direct and edit the end state (regardless of framework) and execute/test an idea

For Designers & Content Creators

A really nice tool for designers & content creators, helping them to optimize the look and feel of a website.

The extension is currently available for Chrome, but a Firefox Addon is in development.

Picking a color picker sounds like a five-minute decision, and then you open a dependency tree full of jQuery, React wrappers and “lightweight” libraries that weigh more than your whole app. If you just need a solid color picker that adds nothing to your bundle except the picker itself, you’ve come to the right place.

Markdown is perfect right up until a second person touches it. On your own, a folder of .md files is the best documentation system ever invented. Add four colleagues and suddenly you’ve got three different heading styles, a README that links to a domain that expired in 2023, and Steve, who writes every sentence in […]

I have a deep passion for programming, design, and server architecture—each of these fuels my creativity, and I wouldn’t feel complete without them.

With a broad range of interests, I’m always exploring new technologies and expanding my knowledge wherever needed. The tech world evolves rapidly, and I love staying ahead by embracing the latest innovations.

Beyond technology, I value peace and surround myself with like-minded individuals.

I firmly believe in the principle: Help others, and help will find its way back to you when you need it.
