StarterCSS Extension

StarterCSS is a beginner-friendly version of devtools that cuts out time spent Googling for CSS docs and tutorials.

StarterCSS provides a dashboard to implement, experiment with, and visualize CSS features at just a few clicks. The dashboard is directly embedded as a devtool panel (alongside the \"Styles\" and \"Computed\" panels) for quick access. Simply inspect an element and quickly make changes to it in the StarterCSS panel.

With StarterCSS, you can:
✅ Add and customize layouts like flexboxes and grids, in addition to various visual attributes, in seconds
✅ Visualize and test CSS code in isolated environments
✅ Encounter fewer context switches from needing to look up CSS docs
✅ Export created designs/layouts into CSS for copying into your local code editor

To access the extension, go to the \"Elements\" Tab in Chrome Devtools (Right Click > \"Inspect\" or Command+Shift+C). You should see a separate row with tabs like \"Styles\", \"Computed\", and \"Layout\". StarterCSS will be another panel here; if you've just downloaded the extension, you may have to click the \">>\" (see more) icon to see all panels.
