Show HN: Pablo – a Chrome extension that copies UI from any website

Pablo is a Chrome extension that copies the HTML and CSS behind any element you hover. It captures computed styles, fonts (with @font-face and Google Fonts links), CSS keyframes, and animation props from GSAP and Framer Motion. The output is structured so it pastes cleanly into Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex when you want to rebuild a component in your own stack. Manifest v3, no host permissions, no backend. Free. https://usepablo.dev Happy to answer questions about how the extraction works, and would love to hear about sites where the output breaks.

This is really cool!! When you say Ui.. does that include assets as well?

Really cool! Why are some things subtly different?

Why is every LLM created website so shitty? They all have this messed up margin and padding. Especially on mobile. Everything is just badly appended and unorganized. Feels like many different parts being glued together.
