If you read DEV.to daily, you know the micro-friction: open a post just to react, jump back to the feed, lose the title you saw 2 minutes ago, copy/share links manually, repeat.
So I built a small productivity extension that keeps DEV.to actions one click away.
DEV.to Quick Actions (DEV+_+) adds a clean floating panel on DEV.to / Forem pages so you can:
- find posts you already loaded,
- react/share/open faster,
- and (with PRO) unlock AI summary + bulk follow/unfollow tools.
Install (1 click)
Chrome Web Store:
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/devto-quick-actions/aeieaipaigenibkamiiajhedgieecjof
Install it, open DEV.to, and you’ll see the floating Quick Actions panel.
Why I built this
DEV.to is great for discovery, but interaction often forces you to context-switch (open post → react → back → continue). That breaks the flow when you’re scanning a lot of posts.
I wanted a workflow that feels like:
- discover in the feed,
- decide in seconds,
- act without losing your place.
What it does (Free)
1) Floating Quick Actions panel
A minimal panel that stays accessible while you browse. Open/close it anytime and keep DEV.to fast.
2) Search loaded titles
After a long scroll, dozens of posts are loaded. This feature lets you instantly search across the titles you already loaded and jump back to the one you want.
3) Fast actions from the feed
Speed up common actions while staying in the feed:
- quick open/navigation
- fast share/copy workflow
- faster interaction patterns without endless tab hopping
4) Clean, low-noise UI
The panel is designed to be lightweight and non-intrusive. It aims to assist your browsing—not take over the page.
PRO features (Power-user layer)
PRO is for people who use DEV.to heavily and want higher throughput.
1) AI Summary (on article pages)
Generates a compact, high-signal summary with key points so you can decide quickly:
- read now,
- save for later,
- or skip.
2) Bulk follow (home + article pages)
Batch follow tools where it makes sense—designed for controlled networking, not spam.
3) Bulk unfollow (profile management)
Clean up your follow graph faster, reduce noise, and keep your feed intentional.

Privacy & permissions (what the extension needs and why)
This extension is built to be practical and privacy-first:

- It uses extension permissions only to render the panel and perform user-triggered actions.
- Settings are stored locally to remember your preferences.
The extension is not designed for tracking or selling data.
FAQ
Does it work outside DEV.to?
It targets DEV.to and Forem-powered communities (where supported).
Is it useful without PRO?
Yes. The free layer already removes a lot of friction (panel + faster navigation + loaded title search).
Is this a “spam bot”?
No. The goal is productivity—reducing clicks and context switching—while keeping you in control.
