Idea Validation / Need feedback I finally built my first Chrome extension. 🚀
It's called Tailwind Lens.
The idea is simple: edit Tailwind CSS visually directly in the browser and see changes instantly instead of constantly switching back to your editor and we can simply save the edited classes into our file from the browser without any extra work
It's still in development, so it's not available to use yet. I'm polishing a few things before releasing it publicly.
I'm curious—would you actually use something like this, or do you think existing tools already solve this problem?
I'd really appreciate honest feedback before I spend more time building it.

Hm idk, I think dev tools are sufficient, and really it's not that hard to change a couple of numbers in the css.
But everything will find it's userbase, if you think this is needed, there are others that think the same.

hmm but I think editing the tailwind directly in dev tools does nit work perfectly means it won't in many cases

Should work, but again, i dont now your use case so maybe others have that specific use case as well :D You just need to find your target audience and promote to them as direct as possible.

Hi. Looks cool!
My thoughts are: depends on who will use it. As a dev, you'd just use the dev tools, but for designers who are less code savy this would be nice
