v1.2.2

Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug where you cannot access the library while on chrome (Chrome users please use ctrl+shift+space to access the library. Firefox users can use both, ctrl+shift+space and ctrl+shift+L.

Support Removal

We have sadly removed support for ChatGPT and Claude for now, this support will be coming back in the future, but we are working our best on just Gemini for now.

(crx does not work currently. working on getting a working chrome extension)

v1.2.0

Code Commenting Feature

Highlight any snippet within a code block to trigger a minimalist inline comment tool. You can add multiple comments per block, which appear as persistent visual highlights. Hover over any highlight to see your comment, delete it, or send it directly to the AI with specific line context.

Example

Highlight a line of code and add: "Refactor this loop for better performance."

(The .crx still doesn’t work, but if you’re on Firefox, you can use the .xpi.)
(Or, for chrome, you can un-extract the zip, and load unpacked)

v1.1.1

Dynamic Variables

• You can now add {{variable}} to your prompts. A draggable popup will appear so you can fill in the details before sending it to the AI. It’s way easier than manually editing prompts every time.

🦊 Now on Firefox

The extension is officially live on the Firefox(have to download xpi through github). I had to fix some manifest settings and tighten up the security to get it certified, so it’s now running on a more solid, stable base.

Other Fixes

• Hardened the code to prevent XSS (swapped innerHTML for safer methods).
• Resized icons to 128px for better clarity.
• Unified the font to ‘Outfit’ and cleaned up the sidebar spacing.

Added:

• Folders/Workspaces for prompts, you can now create quick-prompts within the folders, and move them from folder-to-folder.

I wanted to see if I could bring that Windows 7 “liquid glass” vibe back to life using React and Vite. Most modern design is so flat, but Frutiger Aero was all about depth. I nailed the glass look using heavy backdrop-filter blur and some tricky ::after reflections to make the window edges feel like they’re actually catching the light.

An OS is only as good as its apps, so I rebuilt the classics to be as tactile as possible. The Media Player has that glossy WMP 12 skin, and the Calculator and Notepad are 1:1 recreations of the 2009 versions to keep the immersion high.

The coolest part was linking the software to the “hardware.” I built a Samsung “Touch of Color” monitor frame that actually controls the experience. If you hit the physical power button, it kicks off a multi stage boot sequence logo glow and all while the shutdown sequence has that authentic, nostalgic fade to black.

I built an AI Marketplace aimed at matching users with the best AI for the job. AI can be difficult to use, but part of the problem is using the wrong tool for the task. This marketplace was created for that exact reason.

I’m working on my first project! This is so exciting. I can’t wait to share more updates as I build.
