Timeline URL for DevTools Extension

If you use Chrome DevTools to profile your sites and apps, you probably want to easily share those results with colleagues. This extension can create a shareable URL of a live navigable timeline.
Record a timeline, right-click and save it to disk, and then upload it to a host (like Dropbox). Then go to Sources panel, \"Generate Timeline URL\" pane, paste in the hosted URL and hit go.

This project is open source: https://github.com/arthurvr/timeline-url
It asks for \"Read and write to all sites\" but only because it injects an iframe into your devtools. Read the source if you like.
