Installation Guide for SlashSnip Chrome Extension

Current install status

Use this page as the installation guide for SlashSnip. The Chrome Web Store listing is in review; until approved, install via the distribution source below or link from your license email.

• If you already have an internal build or unpacked package, install from that source.
• When the Chrome Web Store listing is approved, this page will link to it directly as the primary install route.

What the install flow should look like

1. Install SlashSnip from the currently approved distribution source.
2. Pin the extension so the popup is one click away.
3. Confirm the first-run flow opens correctly.

After a clean install, SlashSnip should open the /welcome page in a new tab. That page is now part of the real runtime lifecycle, not just a dormant marketing route.

What you should verify after install

• The popup opens without errors.
• The starter snippet //hello exists.
• Typing /// opens the snippet menu.
• The Side Panel can be enabled from the extension UI.
• The welcome page explains the same trigger system as the docs.

What is shipped today

• Local-first snippets stored in Chrome storage.
• Direct insert with //shortcut.
• Browse menu with ///.
• Optional alias triggers @@shortcut and @@@.
• Clipboard history, categories, import/export, and localized UI.

What is publicly available now

• Public checkout for PRO at slashsnip.com/pricing (Stripe-secured, live since 31 March 2026).
• Public account dashboard at slashsnip.com/account — check license status, open customer portal.
• Customer portal for subscription management (accessible from Account page with licenseKey + customerEmail).
• Lifetime PRO offer (one-time payment, founding launch promotion) — planned for Wave C rollout; not yet available on /pricing. Tracking progress: see launch plan + TODO.md.

What is not publicly available yet

• Cloud sync between devices (snippets stay local by default; team sync deferred to post-launch).
• Chrome Web Store listing (in review; pending approval).

If you already have a license key

SlashSnip supports license activation for keys delivered via Stripe checkout or private/early-access channels.

If you received a key directly, open the extension dashboard and go to Settings -> License & PRO, then paste the key in the activation field.

See the current pricing truth on the pricing page, the current account boundary on the account page, and the full runtime details in the license activation guide.
