Colly Autor: Qclid

A browser extension for inspecting webpage elements to reveal their CSS styles, Tailwind CSS utility classes, and CSS animations.

• Element Inspection — Hover over any element to see computed styles, layout properties, flex/grid details, and more in a floating panel.
• Tailwind CSS Detection — Automatically detects if a page uses Tailwind CSS and groups detected utility classes by category (Layout, Flexbox, Grid, Spacing, Typography, etc.).
• Animation Extraction — Parses @keyframes rules from all stylesheets (including cross-origin) and displays animation names, durations, timing functions, and keyframe details alongside transition properties.
• Clipboard Export — Click any element to copy its full style data (styles, Tailwind classes, animations) to the clipboard as formatted text.
• Shift+Scroll — Hold Shift and scroll to scroll the overlay panel when it contains more content than the viewport.
• Dark Theme — Black + orange color scheme designed for developer workflows.
