       | Hey HN! I built Pluck -- a free Chrome extension that lets you
       | click any component on any website and copy it as a structured
       | prompt for AI coding tools (Claude, Cursor, v0, Bolt, etc.). You
       | can also export directly into Figma!
       | 
       | It (should) work on any page, including ones behind auth, since
       | it runs entirely in your browser.
       | 
       | Tech stack for the curious: Plasmo for the extension, Next.js +
       | Hono + tRPC for the web/API, Drizzle + Postgres for the DB, all
       | in a Turborepo monorepo.
       | 
       | Free tier gives you 50 captures/month (should be plenty).
       | Unlimited is $10/mo.
       | 
       | Would love feedback -- especially on the capture quality and
       | whether the prompts it generates actually produce good results in
       | your tool of choice.

       | I say that both as someone who writes vooyrighted code and
       | someone responsible for ensuring my company's code doesn't
       | violate anyone else's copyright.

         | Valid concern, but I guess screenshot feature on every computer
         | could also be considered as copyright violation.
         | 
         | You're right though - don't use this tool to violate copyright
         | please :)

       | Nice idea.
       | 
       | Is 'plucking' something and pasting the prompt into Claude the
       | same as taking a screenshot and uploading it to Claude?
       | 
       | I tend to upload screenshots a lot. If 'plucking' essentially
       | does the same thing, without cluttering my desktop with
       | screenshots, I'd be interested in trying it out.

         | It's not, it actually currently doesn't even take screenshots.
         | It actually looks at the html and includes actual structure and
         | values from the webpage.
         | 
         | Thanks for asking, maybe I should make it clearer on the
         | website I would also add a screenshot functionality later, if
         | people feel like current approach is not enough.
