I tab-switched from VS Code to ChatGPT 30+ times yesterday. Felt dumb. Cursor only lives in my IDE; most in-browser AI extensions proxy my code through their server. So I made the thing I wanted: a small Chrome extension that puts Claude one click away on whatever site I'm on, talks straight to Anthropic from the browser.

it work on all platform leetcode, hackerrank, and any website you name it.

How it actually feels to use:

- Cmd+Shift+Space anywhere → floating panel

- One click: Find Issues / Security / Refactor / Draft Code / Complete / Tests / System Design / How To Use

- Right-click selected code → "find bugs in this" + 6 more entries

- Cmd+Shift+S → screenshots the tab → Claude vision answers

- Listen pill → speak a question; passes ~150 tech terms (Kafka,

Kubernetes, Postgres, useEffect, goroutine, etc) to the recognizer's

contextualStrings hint list so it stops mishearing them

Where I'd love eyes:

- content-extractor.js — what sites or editors am I missing? CodeJar? Some IDE-in-browser I haven't seen?

- Permissions — anything tightenable without breaking universality?

Built it for myself over the last few months. Got tired of two things:

1. AI coding helpers only work inside an IDE.

2. The ones that work in the browser send your code to their server first.

So I just made a Chrome extension. You install it, paste your Anthropic

API key, and now there's a floating panel on every page. Click "find

issues", "refactor", "draft code", or talk to it. It calls Anthropic

directly from your browser, nothing in between.

Stuff I'm actually using it for daily:

- LeetCode — screenshot the problem, get the solution

- Reading PRs on GitHub — right-click → "find bugs in selection"

- Random docs pages — "how do I actually use this API"

- Stack Overflow — "is this answer still right or stale"

Some details:

- ~1500 lines vanilla JS, no npm, no build step, no node_modules

- Manifest V3

- Costs me about 50 cents a day with Claude Haiku as the default

- MIT licensed, do whatever

I'm the author, posting because this sub is where I'd want to find a tool like this myself.

If you try it and something annoys you, github issues are open.

Especially curious which coding sites I should add specific extractors

Four rounds over three weeks. Built a take-home project on a weekend. Had what I thought was an amazing final chat with the engineering manager — he literally said 'you'd be a great fit for the team.' Got the rejection email before I even made it home from the office. Like what happened in those 20 minutes?? Did HR veto it? Did they already have someone lined up? I'm not even mad anymore, just genuinely confused. Has anyone ever gotten an explanation after something like this?

I swear I start something new every month. Get excited, build the skeleton, then lose motivation around 60% done when the boring parts hit (auth, deployment, edge cases). My GitHub is basically a graveyard of half-built apps. Meanwhile people on here show off polished projects after like 3 months of learning. Am I just bad at this or does everyone secretly have 10 abandoned repos too?
