Show HN: Fully offline, open-source alternative to Scribe for Firefox

I had to do a bit of web-workflow documentation and found the process of gathering screenshots, placing them correctly into a document, and creating captions extremely tiring.

I figured it’ll be easy to automate and also a great opportunity to get to know the Browser API, and here we are with the first release of the extension. It’s extremely easy to use but barebones which I plan to change in the near future, so any feedback will be appreciated.

I want to keep the docs generation process completely offline to avoid dealing with server costs and GDPR stuff which poses a lot of challenges when planning more advanced features like image editing.

It’s available only for Firefox because of Firefox’s great Browser API support, which Chromium currently lacks. Also, there’s a tool like this already available, called Scribe but it requires an account and also is not available for Firefox for some reason.

Hope you’ll like it!
