For years, I've kept a small notebook filled with ideas for apps and developer tools.

Most of them came from one simple question:

"What problem do I keep solving manually every single day?"

The funny part?

Almost none of those ideas became real.

Not because they weren't useful—but because time always got in the way. Between work, family, and side projects, building everything felt impossible.

Then Generative AI arrived.

Today, building software is faster than ever.

AI can generate code, design interfaces, write documentation, and even help debug problems.

But one thing hasn't changed:

**AI can generate software. It can't generate your real-life frustrations.**

And those frustrations are often where the best product ideas begin.

As a web developer, I constantly switch between multiple accounts

Some examples:

Every day looked like this:

Login → Logout → Login → Logout...

Chrome Profiles help...

...until you only need to switch **one website**.

Opening another browser or open an incognito tab just to change anoterh account felt like overkill.

So I decided to build something.

Account Switcher is a Chrome Extension that lets you save and restore multiple login sessions for websites.

Instead of logging out every time, you simply choose the session you want.

I originally built it for myself.

But I realized many people have the same workflow:

If you manage multiple accounts, you've probably experienced the same frustration.

One thing I cared about from the beginning was privacy.

Everything stays on your own computer.

Your sessions remain under your control.

I still have many ideas:

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

What feature would make this extension useful for your workflow?
