A browser extension that adds copy to clipboard buttons on every code block
A browser extension that injects copy-to-clipboard buttons onto code blocks across GitHub, Stack Overflow, npm, MDN, and a handful of other developer sites. Solves a real annoyance that most of those sites have since fixed natively, which is the main thing working against it now.
Custom domain support via right-click context menu is a nice touch that makes it useful for GitHub Enterprise installs. The architecture is simple — a manifest, a few vanilla JS files, SCSS — so contributing a new site selector is genuinely a five-minute job. MIT licensed, no tracking, no backend.
Dead in practice: GitHub, Stack Overflow, and npm all added native copy buttons years ago, so the core value proposition is mostly gone. Last commit was March 2023 and the repo shows no signs of active maintenance. The dist folder ships with empty .gitkeep placeholders, meaning you have to run the build step before loading unpacked — not great for new contributors. No automated tests anywhere in the codebase.
