Astro Linker Chrome Extension
A Chrome extension to quickly create and save links for my site.
This project was born out of a desire to make adding links to my site as frictionless as possible. While my site supports adding Links, the manual process of creating a new file, filling out frontmatter, and committing it was just enough of a hassle to slow me down.
The solution? A simple Chrome extension that lets me save a link, title, and description with a single click. The extension fills in the details for me, and all that’s left is to commit and push the new file.
Technology Used
- TypeScript for type-safe extension logic.
- TailwindCSS for styling the popup UI.
- Chrome Extension APIs for browser integration.
- Astro for the static site that consumes the links.
The project is open source and available here: link-saver.
This extension has made it much easier to keep my collection of useful links up to date, and it’s a fun example of building a tool for my own workflow.
