Hey y’all!
We use Bubble to create a bunch of internal websites at my job, and after being frustrated with having to edit the URL of the page to switch between versions or disable debug mode, I decided to write a simple browser extension for Chromium-based browsers. Let me know what you think, and feel free to suggest changes or features!

Current Features:

Debug mode toggle
Live/Development version toggle

How to install:

Download the latest release source
Extract into a folder of your choosing
Enable developer mode on the extensions page of your Chromium-based browser
Select the ‘Load Unpacked’ option, then navigate to the root folder of the extracted zip
The extension will then be loaded, enjoy!

Thanks!

Something similar has been on my to-do list since this post.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who wanted this idea!

for Chromium-based browsers

Do you think that there could be a Firefox version in the future? I really don’t want to use Chrome, but this looks super useful.

A small but so pain relieving thing!

One other thing I do a lot is switch between different test users with different privileges. Sometimes I build a selector in app, but a smarter unified way would be a great relief here too.

Cheers, Peter

That’s a good idea! I’ll see if it’s even possible to do that, because I do the same thing. If it’s possible, I still don’t know how viable it would be as every app has different user data and configuration. For example, in the apps I work on we have hundreds of users, so there would have to be a way to differentiate between test accounts and regular accounts.

I see the hurdle you describe. Not being able to make an extension myself, I can only hope for experts like you.
