Tool for Guerrilla Online Marketers: Remembers & Proofreads

If as a guerilla marketer you post the URL of your tool in comments on the web, it needs to be perfect and logged. This Chrome extension will remember and proofread them so you can post them anywhere.

What made me work on my extension?

I had to do online marketing with 0 budget. That is why I worked as a guerrilla online marketer. I inserted the url of the tool I wanted to advertise into blogpost comments and posts on Reddit and X etc. It worked well, but after a short while I had to realize that I could not remember of the sites where I left my comments.

2 problems

And forgetting site names and usrls was only one of the problems. The other is that my spelling was not perfect. So I needed a free tool that solves both of the problems. As I had no money, I had to build it myself.

How does it work?

  1. You save urls you want to log.
  2. You insert the comment into proofreading text area.
  3. The extension checks spelling.
  4. You correct the mistakes and save your comment on the clipboard.
  5. You paste your comment on a blog.
  6. The extension logs this movement.
  7. You can see where you pasted your urls.
  8. You can download your logs in json an csv format (and you can clear the log when you want).

How I built it

I vibe-coded the extension. I know some of javascript and I also know the structure of a chrome extension, but I need to be fast. So I was a human in the loop, but don't think it is simple. I used claude, chatgpt, grock and agent-zero. One corrects the error of the other. And you should know how to make different phases of the vibe-coding process.

Challenges I ran into

If you want to vibe-code a complex Chrome extension it is not a good strategy to tell everything to the tool to code. You must work as if you were real coder. If your extension is like a "bus", first you have to build a "bicycle", then a "car" and then a "bus". It is often said that vibe-coders can correct themselves. My experience is that vibe-coders can correct errors made by other coders.

Accomplishments that I am proud of

I did it as a sole founder. I could do it fast. It was like playing a game.

What I learned

The best way to use vibe-coders is using more than 1.

What's next for Tool for Guerrilla Online Marketers: Remembers & Proofreads

I hope that other guerrilla online marketing specialists will be able to use my tool soon. There are other guerrilla marketing task that can be automated. For this I should build a flask app. I can do it, but if once I do, I should build a SaaS so I could make money from subscription fees.
