Show HN: Mod&Dot, a web design and devtools extension

#1

Mod&Dot is a new design tool for anyone who works on websites. This is an early concept and I'm looking for advice.

After a site launches, revising the design can be a pretty frustrating process. Designers have to learn git and command line. Or developers have to parse font sizes from redlined screenshots. Clients make printouts and draw on them. Etc.

Mod&Dot gives a simple place to collaborate on website edits by saving & sharing changes made in DevTools. Anyone can add comments without using DevTools, too.

What do you think? Would love some input.

OMG. This line:

This is exactly what someone like me (a person who hacks around in dev tools) needs.

How will the Chrome extension work?

Thanks! The chrome extension will let you create new "mods" for specific pages. When making a mod, it listens for any edits you make: CSS, HTML, text, etc. When you publish, it takes before & after screenshots and puts everything on a page you can share with other people.
