Hi all,

Feels good to finally post this. It's not got the landing page I was hoping for, but life gets in the way so this feels like a now or never moment, so let me explain what Browser Snippets is.

Browser Snippets was born as a way I could easily write reusable JavaScript snippets that I can also share as part of a team. The platform works in conjunction with the Browser Snippets Chrome extension so you can write once, visit a site, and in two clicks you can execute some code.

It essentially replaces the need to open up DevTools and write in the console, which is great for sharing snippets with members of the team that aren't developers, but need a little extra functionality (like pulling and displaying certain data on screen).

It's still in beta, and probably will be for a while, but the MVP is there where you can create teams so you can all see each other's snippets.

I'm starting to ramble, so I'll leave it there. Any feedback would be really appreciated. Good or bad; and if you find it useful, that'll make the whole build worth it :)

Thanks for reading. I hope you like it.

First thing I see is a registration form. I'm pretty sure that is a turn off for many people. Me included.

I completely agree – a landing page is my next goal to give a walkthrough of what Browser Snippets is and how it works.

I've done a really quick demo video and added it to the register page so it has a little more information. It's not perfect, but it's iteratively better than it was
