As someone who has been spending a majority of his time building and editing websites lately, it has almost become second nature to right click on a page element to inspect it. I love writing CSS code way more than HTML, so I enjoy styling the websites I build fare more than I enjoy actually building them. Although the native style inspectors in browsers like Safari and Chrome have improved considerably in recent times, they’re still nowhere as good as they can be. Then there’s CSS Peeper — a stylish, smart and elegant CSS viewer extension for Google Chrome that…

Due to the timing…

Feedbin: Subscribe Improvements Feedbin has been my personal favorite choice of feed aggregation services after the death of Google Reader back in 2013. Although several other services have cropped up since then, some even free, the simplicity and elegance of Feedbin has me hooked to it. While I use Feedbin primarily as a feed syncing service between my Macs and iOS devices, and I’m sure most others do too, I do at times hop onto the Feedbin website to use the web interface. I love how Ben continues to improve various aspects of the web version of the service, including…
