Show HN: I dropped to part-time work to develop a Design Copilot for developers
Hey HN!
I develop browser extensions, I suck at web design, and I've been exploring AI/LLMs.
With my new found free-time since dropping work hours, I've developed a Design Copilot browser extension [0].
It does what it says on the tin - you choose a part of your website and the tool gives you instant expert design feedback - "change this font to that, add this much whitespace, use brighter colours .... etc"
The tool is completely 100% free to use, its powered by bringing your own AI API Key, and the current LLM it uses is Google Gemini 1.5 Pro. I've yet to hit the free rate-limit and I use the tool myself daily all day.
The tool itself was used to create its own final design!
Let me know what you think, support a dev, give it a try.
Cheers

- purple-leafy 2y agoI realise this is more a show and tell, but if you’re struggling in your career or wanting to know a better path - talk to me! I dropped a full day of work (due to stress) so I now work 4 days a week, and it’s been life changing truly. Gaining an extra weekend day and losing a day of work is massive for your mental health. And it’s made me enjoy building projects again for fun.
- KetoManx64 2y agoHow many hours were you working before and how many hours now if you don't mind me asking
- purple-leafy 2y agoWas working 40 across 5 days, not working 32 across 4 days
- xingped 2y agoAny chance you'll make this available for Firefox as well?
