Minimal LLM tool that solves programming problems - from a sidebar.
SnapAnswer Extension
❤️ Why do I create SnapAnswer ❤️
As an engineer with over 15 years in software development, I found myself constantly relying on Claude LLM for my daily work these days - from code reviews to documentation checks and writing quick code snippets. But like many of us, I struggle with having too many Chrome tabs open, often losing track of my Claude conversation.
I created this simple sidebar extension to solve my own problem, and I hope it helps other engineers too. It lets you quickly pull up Claude whenever you need it and hide it when you're done - no more searching through tabs!
While it's a humble solution, it's made my workflow much smoother, especially when I need quick help with:
🔥 Reviewing code
🔥 Looking over design docs
🔥 Writing code snippets and unit tests
🔥 Creating bash scripts, or SQL queries
🔥 Fixing LaTeX!!
I'm sharing this with fellow engineers who might face the same challenges. It's nothing fancy, but I hope you find it as useful as I do in your daily work.
