Slash Command Sync

Your custom slash commands, everywhere you type

Problem
Developers accumulate custom slash commands across Slack, VS Code, browser, and terminal, but each tool is siloed and can't reuse the others; they end up reconfiguring the same commands repeatedly.
Solution
A local-first sync tool: define slash commands (trigger + expansion/script) in one place, and a browser extension, desktop agent, or input layer makes them work in any text box, with optional cloud sync.
Users
Power keyboard users, developers, support agents
MVP
Browser extension watches input fields and expands commands; import/export JSON config; 10 built-in command templates; local command store; sync via user's own cloud storage.
Revenue
Free basic extension, paid for cross-device sync, shared team command libraries, and advanced script execution.
Why now
Remote work and multi-tool switching are the norm, yet slash commands remain locked in individual apps; mature browser extensions and system input APIs let indie developers build this cheaply.
