This is exactly what I want to see. I've been toying around with similar ideas myself but prompting GPT-n with your instructions will make this extremely accessible. Browser configurability will be crucial, but we seem to be doing pretty well in that regard. Rare moment of optimism. Thanks for posting.

- culi 4y agoI just want a browser extension that not only lets you create little css snippets for sites you browse, but also see the most popular snippets shared by other users. Maybe an up/downvote system too
- krapp 4y agoI'm certain there was a plugin for Firefox that did just that, I don't remember the name, though. Greasemonkey definitely worked that way.
