I made a Chrome extension called Save This Snippet. This thing is really useful because it lets you save the code or text you highlighted on a webpage. You can do this by clicking on the text.

Save This Snippet stores all your snippets on your computer. You can also say what language each snippet is, in. This makes it easy to find them again.

You can search for Save This Snippet quickly.. If you want to get all your snippets out of Save This Snippet you can export them as JSON.

This thing works smoothly and it feels nice to use when I am browsing documents or tutorials. I learned a lot about Chrome Extension architecture. I mean the whole Manifest V3 thing. I found out a lot, about how Chrome Extension context menus and Chrome Extension background scripts and Chrome Extension storage all work.

Overall, the project went well, stayed within scope, and is something I’ll actually keep using myself. Hoping this ship sails smoothly 🚀

Sometime small tools that solve real annoyances are often more valuable than big, unfinished ideas.

Save This Snippet is something I’ll genuinely keep using, and that matters more to me than building something flashy.

If you like the extension then please do vote !

Core features I focused on

Right-click → Save Snippet

Uses Chrome’s context menu API so saving feels native.

Language tagging

Each snippet can be tagged (JS, Python, HTML, plaintext, etc.) for quick scanning later.

Quick search

A simple search bar in the popup filters snippets by content or language.

Export snippets

One-click export to JSON so you’re never locked in.

Why I built this

While learning and coding, I constantly run into small but useful code snippets—on docs, blogs, Stack Overflow answers, random GitHub READMEs. I usually copy them into a notes app or a random file, and then forget where I saved them.

I wanted something frictionless:
highlight → right-click → saved.

No accounts. No dashboards. No clutter.

That’s what led to Save This Snippet.

Q. What it does

Ans. Save This Snippet is a lightweight Chrome extension that lets you save highlighted text or code from any webpage using a right-click menu.

Each snippet is:

  • Stored locally (offline-first)
  • Tagged with a language
  • Searchable instantly
  • Exportable as JSON

It’s designed for daily use while learning or coding—not as a “big product,” but as a small tool that removes annoyance.

Hey there! I’m Shlok and i built this personnel portfolio website using Next JS 16 framework and Tailwind CSS. This website looks professional, minimalistic, aesthetic and functions smoothly.

I start with the NextJs 16 framework as its much easier to build complex UI/UX compared to other framework like Astro. I started building the main landing page, i used pre-components/pre-UIs from Aceternity and shadCN. Also adding a globe which i found in an open source project in GitHub. After developing the landing page, I added a color scheme using the trending color palette and ShadCN ’s theming.

Integrated many backend API function (which you can check out in my ReadMe file)
Added a blog and project system, along with newsletter and contact ( via google SMTP ) |

The Blog & Project was one of the most difficult and complex part of the website as i had to integrate a lot of backend services while maintaining a good SEO practice.

  • Live Views Count ( done via Neon DB )
  • Automated Reading Time ( done using a package called reading-time )
  • Tags

In future the things i wanna add:

  • Comment section
  • Likes
  • Optimization

If you did like the website’s UI/UX or any part of the website pls do vote my project.
Any feedback pls contact me <3
