Claude Branch Tracker

About

Chrome extension that visualizes conversation branches in Claude.ai, helping users track different conversation paths

Motivation

Built as a Chrome extension to deeply integrate with Claude's interface, featuring DOM scraping, content hashing for message IDs, and local storage for persistence.

Key Achievements

• Developed Chrome extension using Manifest V3 with content scripts for deep webpage integration
• Implemented content hashing algorithm for generating unique message IDs and branch detection
• Built sidebar UI with tree visualization showing conversation structure and branch points
