First of all, kudos to you for building and shipping a product that you can charge for. The website looks really good and polished. I don’t mind the countdown and introductory pricing. If people find it useful, this should definitely help with conversion. Good luck!

Thanks a lot for the support, @sbm15!

looks like a product aimed at junior devs, who don't know how to use DevTools also "Save 59% - Product Hunt Launch Deal - only until July 21st" sounds sketchy AF i don't buy anything from websites with countdowns or fake discounts

Hi, it's not a cash-grab, been working on it for almost 4 years now, just trying to make something useful that helps people save time.

I decided to make a Wordle clone for a joke. About 1/5 of the time it took was figuring out the CSS.

I’ll have to try this, but I’m a bit surprised how hard it is in Chrome Dev Tools to figure out what the CSS was for the card flip animation.

I dunno if this is my own incompetence, or CSS, or Chrome, but there’s just a rats nest of styles and classes to try to unravel to figure out what styles are actually relevant to a certain effect or element.

Not sure it's something I would use, but this is one of the first times I've visited a landing page and understood what I was being sold within a few seconds. Normally the copy is so generic I have no idea what the product is. Something like, "build sites more efficiently by enabling UI teams collaborate and share CSS".

Love the instant try me feature too. Good job. It's nice to see people can still make money building a simply but well designed productivity tool like this in 2022. It's something I seem to see much less of these days.

Can you share details on how you implemented paid license keys in a browser extension? I have an extension already written that is like to do the same with. And will the chrome and Firefox stores still host it?

I can't think of a use case where I'd need to copy someone else's (probably messy) CSS. I assume this is aimed at beginners?

Anyone working on agency-led projects would benefit from this. Think pharma or other brand-focused companies where the same design elements need to be replicated across multiple, separate projects. Agencies throw over templates or prototypes and expect the rest of the company to be following along. Something like this would reduce the pain somewhat when a manager is asking you to replicate parts of the design.

Selling an enterprise license to Wipro or other giant integrator would benefit a lot of people, but reaching the buyers might be difficult. The buyers don't really care that much for the experience of their devs in those companies, but perhaps there is an efficiency angle.
