Dev tools for testing complex CSS selectors

Build a browser extension that helps developers quickly test and debug CSS selectors in real-time. Target frontend developers who work with complex DOM structures.

Why now

With the rise of component-based frameworks, debugging CSS has become more complex, creating demand for better selector tools.

Business model

Effort
A few weeks

Frontend developers waste hours debugging why CSS selectors aren't applying correctly in complex DOM structures.

A browser extension that visually maps selectors to elements and shows specificity conflicts in real-time.

Development teams would pay to reduce debugging time and improve productivity during UI development.

Start with a basic version that highlights matched elements and shows selector specificity.

The main risk is competing with browser dev tools that already offer some selector inspection features.
