RTL toggle is a Chrome extension designed to assist web developers by detecting and manually toggling the `dir` attribute of the `<html>` tag on a webpage. This allows developers to easily switch between right-to-left (RTL) and left-to-right (LTR) language directions for testing and visualization purposes.

Listing positioning

The store listing positions RTL toggle as a simple utility for web developers working with right-to-left languages. It highlights its ability to detect and manually switch a website's language direction ('rtl'/'ltr') to aid in visualization and testing during development.

Inferred product pattern

A free, simple utility tool for web developers to quickly toggle and visualize language direction (RTL/LTR) on webpages for testing purposes, supported by optional donations.

Review-backed pain points

Users experience pain points primarily due to the extension's broad application of RTL/LTR flipping, which affects the entire page rather than specific content. This leads to issues where certain elements, like lists of times, are improperly flipped. There is also a demand for more advanced features like auto-RTL on refresh and the ability to customize which HTML tags are affected.

Observed feature gaps

Key feature gaps include the lack of granular control over which page elements are affected by the direction toggle, the absence of an automatic or persistent RTL mode across page refreshes, and the inability to define custom HTML tags for direction manipulation. These gaps suggest a need for more intelligent and customizable flipping logic.
