Hey everyone,
Just wanted to take a second to share my project (and yeah, do a little shameless self-promo 😅).
So, I built this Chrome extension called Sniff It. The idea actually came from my own frustration—I kept seeing products on TikTok and Instagram stores selling for insane prices, and then I’d go to AliExpress and, surprise, find the exact same thing for way less. I got tired of doing reverse image searches every time just to sniff out the real price, so I figured: why not automate the whole process and save my sanity?
Here’s what Sniff It does:
- It automatically reverse image searches whatever product you’re looking at
- Tries to dig up cheaper listings
- Spots possible dropshipping products
- Flags sketchy or scammy stores
And the best part? You don’t have to mess around opening a million tabs and doing detective work. It just runs in the background while you browse.
Honestly, this is my first real shot at building a Chrome extension, so now I’m knee-deep in the marketing side (which, let’s be real, is 10x harder than the coding). So far I’ve:
- Published to the Chrome Web Store
- Tweaked the screenshots and descriptions a bunch of times
- Posted about it in a few Reddit subs
- Started messing around with short AI promo videos
- Tried to wrap my head around SEO without pulling my hair out 😭
One thing’s for sure: building something is way easier than getting people to actually see it.
I’d really love feedback, especially since I know a bunch of you here have way more experience launching extensions than I do.
