Design overlays

Compare the build to the mockup.

Pin your design on top of the live app at any opacity, and catch every pixel that drifted from the original.

It gives me quick access to a bunch of features I use regularly, without having to rely on multiple browser plugins. The grid overlay and window selection are particularly useful. It’s much easier and more accessible than the Chrome extensions I’ve used in the past.
