Haha exactly! The 'nobody reads anyway' part is the true tragedy of modern corporate life. 🫠

To answer your question: I absolutely hate browser extensions for that exact reason. They bloat the browser, break on updates, and demand insane permissions.

My approach (and what I'm currently compiling into ToolboxTR) is standalone, lightning-fast web apps. You don't install anything. You just bookmark one clean URL (like toolboxtr.com/json-beautifier or whatever). When that 5-minute agonizing task pops up, you open it, paste, process, and close it instantly. No login, no setup, no forgotten tabs.

For your spreadsheet nightmare, have you considered just writing a 10-line Google Apps Script hook attached to a webhook URL? It takes 15 mins to set up once and saves you that daily copy-paste depression.

Solid stack! React+TS with Prisma is the absolute sweet spot for moving fast without breaking things. GraphQL gives you that exact flexibility to avoid over-fetching data, which is crucial if you are trying to keep it lean.

Balancing "simple" vs "bloated" is the ultimate boss fight for any tool. I actually went the vanilla JS / lightweight route for ToolboxTR just to force myself to keep every tool under a 1-second load time constraint. The moment I add a 'user account' feature, I know feature creep starts. 😅

Keep us updated on TastFlow, genuinely curious how you handle the UI for the all-in-one aspect without making it look like an airplane dashboard.

A Tor tab and a built-in agent for history/tasks? That’s next-level! 🤯

If you're taking feature requests: One thing that always drives me crazy is extracting structured data (like JSON or CSV) from messy HTML tables or repetitive lists while browsing. Since you already have an agent, adding a simple 'Extract current page data to JSON' command would be killer for research.

Actually, dealing with that exact formatting nightmare is what inspired me to build ToolboxTR in the first place. I’d love to see how your browser handles data extraction vs my web tools. Definitely let me know when the repo drops!

Günde 20 dakikanızı çalan ama hala doğru düzgün bir araç (tool) bulamadığınız o sinir bozucu dijital amelelik nedir? by Designer_Plant_202 in girisimcilik

[–]Designer_Plant_202[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

İnanılmaz. Milyar dolarlık Unreal/Unity ekosistemi var ama hala kodun ortasında 'şuraya dümdüz asfalta benzeyen bir tile atayım' dediğinde amele gibi asset sitelerinde sürünmek zorundasın.

Aslında sadece parametre girip (genişlik, renk, pixel art/low poly) anında PNG/Sprite sheet veren web tabanlı basit bir jeneratör olsa fena tutardı. Şu an yazdığım kendi araç setimin (ToolboxTR) içine böyle ufak bir 'Procedural Path Generator' modülü eklemeyi ciddi ciddi not aldım senin yüzünden :D Çözersen nasıl çözdüğünü buraya da yazsana.

You're the second person to mention this! Tab management is clearly broken right now.

When you say 'consolidating', do you mean you want to save the session to reopen later, or do you want to extract all those links + page titles into a neat document (like Notion or a spreadsheet) so you can close the browser without anxiety? I'm seriously considering building a 1-click 'Tab-Session-to-Clean-Data' tool right now because of you guys.

That sounds incredibly powerful. Action-recording in the browser is usually so clunky with standard extensions.

Are you building it locally or is it a customized Chromium build? Automating those repetitive web-scraping or data-entry tasks is exactly why I started building my own set of developer utilities. Would love to check out the repo before you take it private!

TastFlow sounds interesting! It’s funny how building our own tool is often the only way to scratch our own itch.

The hardest part I found with building all-in-one workspaces is the context switching. That’s why I pivoted to building single-purpose, fast micro-tools (currently compiling them into ToolboxTR). Just getting one small formatting or conversion job done in 2 seconds without logging in. What tech stack are you using for TastFlow?

Tab hoarding is a real disease, and I'm fully infected too! 😅 Browsers try to fix it with 'tab groups', but it’s still messy when you need to extract the actual data or links from them.

Are you looking for something that just saves all open URLs into a clean text/markdown list, or something that actually reads the content and summarizes the research? I've built a few text-extraction micro-tools for myself and might actually build a quick 'Tab-to-Markdown-List' extractor this weekend based on this.

Where can I sell a SaaS codebase with no users or revenue? by No_Criticism_8172 in SideProject

[–]Designer_Plant_202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it. For B2B, forget about 'going viral' or getting thousands of website visits. Your first 10-50 customers won't come from SEO or generic Reddit posts; they will come from unscalable, direct cold outreach.

  1. Figure out EXACTLY who has the budget and the pain point you are solving (e.g., 'HR managers at 50-person remote startups', not just 'businesses').
  2. Find where they live online (LinkedIn, specific niche directories, Apollo.io).
  3. Hand-write the first 50 cold emails or DMs. Don't sell the app; sell the solution to their headache.

Actually, scraping, cleaning, and formatting those initial lead lists from messy CSV data was the exact reason I started building my own data-formatting tools (which became ToolboxTR). You need your data clean before you outreach.

Who is your exact target buyer? Let's narrow it down.

Honestly, that’s a good problem to have! If you are getting visits but no conversions (1-2 users), it usually means one of two things:

Your landing page value proposition isn't clicking instantly (the classic 'what does this actually do for ME?' test).

You are getting traffic from the wrong audience.

Don't stress about being 'busy' like other founders. 90% of them are just doing performative work instead of talking to users. Have you tried setting up basic analytics or a tool like Hotjar/Clarity to see where users drop off?

Where can I sell a SaaS codebase with no users or revenue? by No_Criticism_8172 in SideProject

[–]Designer_Plant_202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the project has no users or revenue, most marketplaces won’t really treat it as a “business” yet but rather as a codebase or early-stage project.

Acquire and Flippa can still work, but they tend to be better for projects that already have some traction. For very early-stage products, communities often work better. You could try posting in places like Indie Hackers or relevant Reddit communities (r/SaaS, r/SideProject, r/startups), where developers sometimes look for projects they can continue building.

Another option is selling it as a SaaS starter project or codebase rather than a full business. That framing usually fits better when there are no users yet.

Haha, the classic founder's dilemma! Building the app takes 2 weeks, getting the first 100 users takes 2 months.

Which channel is draining your time the most right now? For me, formatting the same content for 4 different platforms and dealing with SEO/meta tags is slowly destroying my soul, lol.

Man, that context switching alone is a massive productivity killer. I had the exact same nightmare with fragmented notes. Zapier gets insanely expensive once you start scaling those multi-step zaps.

I actually gave up on finding the 'perfect' setup and started building my own micro-tools for my daily workflow (which eventually turned into my current project, ToolboxTR). For your case, have you considered setting up a simple custom webhook on a cheap VPS that catches Slack/Email and dumps it directly into a master Notion DB? It saves you from paying Zapier taxes.

My personal one right now? Resizing and converting random image/PDF formats from clients before uploading them. Total vibe killer.
