Space Spector

Space Spector is a lightweight Chrome extension for designers, frontend developers, and QA engineers who need to quickly inspect spacing on any webpage without digging through DevTools. How it works Click Activate — Space Spector overlays color-coded highlights across the entire visible page, showing every gap and padding value at a glance.
