I got tired of losing links from Reddit comments, so I built a browser extension — 51 installs in, my journey
I built a browser extension because I couldn't stop losing links — here's what I learned
Honestly, the problem started embarrassingly simple: I'd be scrolling through a Reddit thread or a Discord server, someone drops a tool or an article in the comments, I think "I'll check this later" — and it's gone forever.
My browser had 50+ tabs open at all times. Not because I needed them all, but because closing them felt like losing something. Classic tab hoarder behavior.
Bookmarks didn't help. The folder system turns into a graveyard fast — you save stuff, never find it again, and eventually stop trusting it altogether.
So I built QuickKeep — a lightweight browser extension that lets you save anything instantly:
• **Double-click or select to save** — highlight any text or link, either double-click or just select it, and it's saved. That's it.
• **Tab saving** — save the tab you're currently on with one click instead of leaving it open "just in case"
• **Cross-device sync** — your saves follow you everywhere
• **Group saves** — this one came from another personal pain point. I share links with friends constantly. So I added a feature where you can share a collection of saves with friends. Like a shared clipboard, basically.
Where I'm at right now:
- 51 installs total
- 27 active users
- 7 weekly active users (growing slowly but steadily)
Still early days. No fancy growth hack, no viral moment — just scratching my own itch and seeing if others feel the same pain.
If you're a chronic tab hoarder or constantly losing links from comments/threads, I'd genuinely love for you to try it and what do you think.

If you try it and find it useful, a review on the Chrome Store would genuinely mean a lot🙏
