Features
Every developer out there is stuck doing repetitive tasks with email, and DevBoost aims at solving this problem. It takes up major mundane things done on a day to day basis, and helps developers achieve the productivity they want:
- Added Markdown functionality while composing emails. Markdown being the standard method for writing formatted text, we developers have great command over it, and helps them write mails faster and much more effectively. Additionally, a lot of content that developers need to document is written as markdown text(eg Github readme), and this allows them to directly re-use the same content without any extra effort!
- Sharing code: Developers need to share code with their peers, usually done using PasteBin. We make it convenient for developers to do that by integrating with the Pastebin API so that they can directly create pastes from their compose email functionality directly!
How I built it
It was built by using NodeJS framework running on a Heroku server. The server is responsible for serving the extension assets and also implements the Pastebin API which helps users to create pastes.
