Hey, I can finally put my ruler in the drawer, thank you 😆 I'm curious about how it handles elements with complex layering or overlapping. Does it provide accurate measurements in those cases? Are there any plans to add features for comparing measurements across different screen sizes or devices? Congrats on the launch!

Congrats on the launch! This looks so much less cluttered and easier to use than the Chrome dev tools. Does the assets tab show just assets within the selected element or on the entire page?
Myster Violets
@ayaangill Thanks for the question. The assets tab will show all assets contained within the selected element (to a certain extent, it goes to a max depth of 10 children).

🌟 Congratulations on launching Screen Ruler 2.0, @myster_violets ! 🎨 As a tool tailored for web developers and designers, Screen Ruler seems like an invaluable asset for anyone looking to streamline their workflow. The ability to measure pixel sizes, distances, and inspect elements with such precision is a game-changer. How does Screen Ruler ensure compatibility across different browsers and web technologies to provide accurate measurements? 📐 The PRO features, especially the Element Inspection and Layout Grid, sound like fantastic additions. Can you share more about how the advanced properties panel enhances the inspection process and what kind of insights users can expect from it? 📸 The screenshot capture feature is particularly useful for documentation. Are there any customization options available for the screenshots, such as annotating or highlighting specific areas before saving? Looking forward to seeing how Screen Ruler helps designers and developers optimize their web projects. Keep up the great work! 🎉
