Great job, nice work. It's nice and clean and quick. I purchased pro version within 5 minutes :) Lifetime version - legend.

Congrats on the launch of Screen Ruler! It looks like a game-changer for developers and designers who need precise measurements directly on web pages. Being able to see sizes, distances, margins, and paddings at a glance is a huge time-saver.

I'm sending this to my devs :D I'm curious what they will say! At the same time, congratulations on the launch.

Impressive launch, @myster_violets! Screen Ruler 2.0 looks like a game changer for web developers. The ability to access detailed element info and measure distances effortlessly is a real time-saver. Love the idea of a layout grid feature for alignment, too! Upvoted!

Congrats on the product launch, I've seen tools like Polypane and PixelSnap do similar things, but they were kinda clunky, you're saying it's simpler to use than Chrome dev tools, but will it really save time for devs? Also, does it make a big difference in everyday tasks or just for occasional weird edge cases? And by the way, does the assets tab show all the assets throughout the page or only what's within each selected element?

Wow looks pretty clean but why bother with another tool when Chrome's dev tools already exist, is this really going to save that much time and effort for developers or just add another layer of complexity, curious about the assets tab though, is it all assets or just those in one element?

I appreciate this tool, and you describe it very effectively. It's nice to find an application that fulfills such precise data right in a web page.

Screen Ruler seems like a really practical tool! I looked it up and it appears really interesting.

Congratulations on your launch @myster_violets! Very cool! I am a frontend developer at heart and would be happy to give this a shot!

What a unique approach to web development and design startup success! Its key features are fantastic, and I'm wondering to watch how society develops around them.

I’m impressed with how easy it is to measure and inspect elements on my site. This should make my development process a lot more efficient.

This looks like it could be super useful for checking alignment and spacing. I can see it saving me time when I’m making tweaks to my web layouts.

I really like how this tool lets me see the pixel size and distances between elements so clearly. It’s going to make my design reviews much smoother.

It would be great if there was an option to export measurement data or screenshots directly from the extension for documentation purposes

How does the PRO tier enhance the experience beyond the standard version? Are there any additional functionalities that are particularly noteworthy?

Great launch! This extension seems like it will be very handy for developers and designers looking to perfect their web layouts.

It’s great to see a tool that provides such precise measurements directly within the browser. This could be a real effective for front-end developers.
