I finally got around to putting together an extension for when I’m too lazy to type ?developerMode=true in the address bar and hit enter. Pin it to your browser and it’s a one-click solution.

Just for giggles here’s some infomercial style copy I put together for the extension:

If you’re anything like me (and I know I am), you’re too lazy to manually, laboriously type ?developerMode=true in the address bar when developing for HubSpot.

**THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER WAY!**  
Are you tired of the endless clicking? The agonizing keystrokes? The soul-crushing manual reloads? Stop the madness!

Introducing the HubSpot Dev-Mode Extension! One click. One second. Total developer power. Don’t waste another moment of your life on a URL string.

**BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!**  
Actually, that’s all it does—but it does it perfectly!

Get it now and reclaim your sanity!

Hey @BarryGrennan,

sweet!  
Thanks for putting it up!

Just an idea, as I’m super lazy and I think many would love it:  
Think of adding a shortcut to it. Like CMD+i (or something that’s not a shortcut used in a browser).  
Would love to put the shortcut on my Streamdeck/Mouse 🙂

best,

Anton

@Anton oooh, that’s really interesting. I’ll have to look into how to do that.

If you like, I can send you the Mentorloop extension I’ve vibe coded with Cursor and never put out…

The only thing it does is giving you the option to add a shortcut to the chat so you can just hit the shortcut or simply “enter” to send messages as Mentorloop didn’t have this (or still doesn’t have) this option
