One of my favourite HN projects in a long time. You'll have to do a blog post on how you pulled it off some time. Design feedback is going to be so friggin' easy from now on. If you ever begin to lose money on this, I'd love to buy a premium account or look into a subscription model. (Regardless, you should look into a premium user program. Some ideas: prioritized bandwidth, custom shorturl for credit(?) such as / /…

Yeah, I'd love to be a paying user for this.

I like the idea. Here's how I envision it: Show me all the existing CSS (with syntax-highlighting) in an editor in a sidebar. Let me modify that or add to it, then share the result. Also, highlight new or modified code somehow. Basically, a save-able, shareable, Firebug editor with diffs.

I like the simplicity though. No need to make it busy and bloated. Most browsers already have a Firebug or something on them already (or you can add them yourself). No reason to have two.

I agree that there isn't a need to reinvent the wheel, but using it I find myself wanting some firebug-esq capabilities. I ended up just firing up inspector in Chrome, but there may be an opportunity here.

Or integrating something like that could ruin the simplicity of the app.

Still, I like this a ton.

Very cool. Any chance you plan to integrate with Firebug?

Some kind of inspector would be nice, yeah. The downside is that it adds quite some javascript overhead. I don't know if it's possible to just integrate with Firebug or Chrome inspector.

This is brilliant,im constantly playing around with ideas using Firebug and then having to take a screenshot and mailing it,now its much simpler. Plus having the site with modified css open in the browser window makes it so much more intuitive for the viewer as opposed to an image. brilliant!

Cool! I've just done something extremely similar for a school project: https://github.com/deniszgonjanin/Automagical

I'll put up a public demo soon. My implementation uses Node, and pulls the page html and css, then lets you edit it. If I can make a couple of unsolicited suggestions:

Right now when you click on a button or a link, it will redirect you to another website. Add a click handler for all elements and then event.preventDefault() so that the link doesn't take you off the page. And second, add a css "outline" style on hover so that the user can see what they're clicking on.

Great work!

He could add is as an advanced feature of sorts - one that isn't immediately visible to the average user.

BuySellAds would also be a good idea, as the advertisers on there tend to be pretty design-centric: http://buysellads.com/
