Show HN: A Chrome extension to sketch wireframes in place

1 AlxHnld 0 5/1/2025, 4:48:46 PM

I often work on early-stage UI ideas with clients and found myself struggling to sketch interface changes quickly during a live call. Tools like Figma/Balsamiq work, but they're not fast or native to the page.

So I built a Chrome extension that lets you drag basic UI elements (buttons, inputs, headers, etc.) directly onto any webpage. You can edit text, resize blocks, and take quick screenshots — all locally, without uploading anything.

It’s useful for product folks, designers, and analysts who want to iterate UI changes quickly, without context switching.

Curious whether others have solved this in different ways — are there similar browser-native tools I’ve missed?
