Starter Lens for Chrome
Make the tool decision while the documentation is still open.
Starter Lens brings Starter Wiki's evidence-backed Tool → Task → Stack graph into a focused Chrome side panel.
IDENTIFIED TOOL
Clerk
Managed identity for teams that value fast integration and polished account interfaces.
- Best fit
- Next.js products prioritizing speed to a complete auth experience.
- Main trade-off
- More vendor dependence than an application-owned authentication stack.
One narrow purpose
Turn the current tool page into a decision.
Recognize the tool
Open Starter Lens on a product site or documentation page to identify the tool and the development task it serves.
See the decision
Get the verdict, best-fit audience, main trade-off, meaningful alternatives, and evidence review date in one focused panel.
Turn a shortlist into a direction
Save tools locally, identify overlapping decisions, and compare your shortlist with the relevant public Starter Stacks before committing to a path.
Privacy by design
Useful without watching you browse.
- Starter Lens runs only when you click its toolbar icon or choose its context-menu action.
- It does not collect or sell browsing history, page contents, authentication data, or personal communications.
- Saved tools and Stack Tray selections remain in Chrome local storage.
- The extension contacts only starter.wiki to refresh the same public decision catalog bundled with the extension.
Availability
Chrome Web Store submission in progress.
