Show HN: Cold Craft – Chrome extension to draft cold outreach messages instantly

https://www.cold-craft.ai/
1•ForgedLabsJames•7mo ago
Hey HN,

I built Cold Craft, a Chrome extension that helps draft cold outreach messages quickly and naturally. I often struggled to write outreach emails or LinkedIn messages that didn’t sound robotic or forced, and found myself spending ages rewording them. As a developer, I thought there had to be a better way.

With Cold Craft, you just select the recipient type, purpose, and tone, and it generates a tailored message instantly. I built it to keep the flow simple: minimal clicks, clean UI, and fast results right inside the extension popup. It uses OpenAI for generation.

Building it taught me a lot about Chrome extension architecture, especially balancing a smooth UX with secure auth flows, efficient API calls, and bundle size optimisation.

If anyone here does cold outreach regularly, I’d love your feedback on how it feels to use and what features you’d find most valuable. First few rewrites are free to test it out.

Thanks!
