Great job, it's amazing how accurate it is. Getting this tool to be reliable had to be a substantial struggle.

If you find this extension useful, there might be a situation when you need to measure stuff that is not inside your browser. SnapRuler (http://www.snaprulerapp.com) is an OSX tool that can measure anything you see on screen.



Funny, I was about to recommend SnapRuler.

It's become part of my daily work flow. For the price and time saved, I can't recommend it enough.

Its on my list with ColorSnapper (another small dev made utility), between the two, I rarely take screenshots anymore. I find it more useful than browser plugins as often my rendering issues are with old browsers that lack such utilities.


Any chance we'll ever see a cross-platform version of it? It looks pretty good, with all the little useful features!


Unfortunately not anytime soon, screen recognition mechanisms used in the app rely a lot on OSX foundations.
