My Mac had 847 screenshots. I built a Chrome extension to fix my AI dev workflow.

I'm currently building 3 apps simultaneously, all with AI. Claude is basically my pair programmer at this point.

But I kept running into the same friction loop:

  1. Claude Chat → generates a plan / prompt
  2. Feed it to Claude Code → UI gets built
  3. OS screenshot → automatically saved to disk
  4. Switch back to Claude Chat → find the file, drag it in → "this isn't right, fix X"
  5. Repeat 4–6 times until it looks correct
  6. Delete all the throwaway screenshots from Desktop

Because AI doesn't get it right on the first try. The loop is the workflow.

After a few weeks of this, my Desktop had 847 screenshots. No joke. Half of them named Screenshot 2026-05-18 at 3.47.22 AM.png. Completely useless after the session.

So I built Stashshot — a Chrome extension where:

  • ⌘⇧S screenshots the full page instantly
  • ⌘⇧X lets you drag-select just an area
  • Screenshots queue up in the extension — nothing saved to disk
  • Switch to Claude, press ⌘⇧U → every screenshot injects into the chat at once
  • Type your prompt and send

Also works great for mobile views — open DevTools device emulation, hit ⌘⇧S, and the mobile screenshot goes straight into the queue. I used this a lot while building a Flutter app.

It's free, no sign-up needed: https://www.stashshot.app/

Would love feedback from anyone else deep in AI-assisted dev. Does your screenshot chaos look like mine?

I'm 30, can afford a house in Bangalore, and refuse to buy one. Here's the math.

Rental yield in India: 2-3%. Home loan interest: 8.5-9%.

You're paying 8.5% to own something it would cost you 2.5% to rent.

On a ₹1 cr house with 20% down, EMI is ~₹70k/month. The same house rents for ₹20-25k. That's ₹45-50k/month — for 20 years — as the "cost of ownership."

A few things nobody talks about:

  • A house you live in isn't an asset. It takes money out every month (EMI, maintenance, society, tax, repairs). You can't eat equity.
  • The real cost isn't the EMI, it's the optionality you lose. A friend earns ₹1.5L/month and pays ₹70k EMI on land. He wants to start a business. Can't. The EMI is the cage.
  • Selling property in India isn't like selling stocks. Months of buyers, paperwork, registration. It's not liquid.
  • Title risk on independent houses. Depreciating structure on shared land for apartments. Neither is as clean as it looks.

I just left a well-paying startup job to take a health break and build my own thing. If I had a ₹40k EMI hanging over me, I wouldn't be doing any of that — I'd be at the desk, calculating runway instead of taking the leap.

My rule: don't buy until you can pay for the house twice in cash. By then an EMI is a rounding error. Before that, you're just buying a 20-year constraint with a granite countertop.

Curious what folks here think — is there a case for buying earlier that I'm missing?
