As someone who spends hours daily jumping between support tickets, code editors, and AI chats, context-switching was destroying my productivity. I was tired of paying for expensive AI wrappers, losing my code snippets in random docs, and having 50 tabs open just to answer a few emails.

That's why I built NexoPad —to unify the essential tools right inside the browser.

To make it blazing fast and lightweight, we built the frontend using React and tailwindcss . We needed rock-solid database management and real-time sync for the secure notes, so we went with Node.js and Supabase (powered by PostgreSQL ) for the backend architecture.

What we solved:

• The AI Tax: Instead of $20/mo wrappers, we built a BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) system. You can connect OpenAI , Claude API by Anthropic , or DeepSeek LLM and use them directly in your sidebar at wholesale API costs.

• Repetitive Typing: We engineered a Text Expander that supports dynamic variables and live webpage context extraction.

• Data Privacy: A local-first, PIN-encrypted Markdown vault for sensitive snippets.

If you are a developer, founder, or support agent trying to eliminate friction and tab overload, I'd love for you to try it out and hear your technical feedback!
