interesting. my company is stuck using these shitty internal tools that i'd like to customize.

can i use this to extend them (like add buttons, UI elements, surface data from API calls, scrape data)?

Did you build the tools yourself/do you have access to the code?

One of our big use cases is to extend/customize internal tools with UI/data/logic. Could you share more details? If you're more comfortable offline kevin@extension.dev

some are in-house but doing code surgery on the tool and then redeploying our stack is annoying. we'd rather make quick modifications on the front end.

some are SaaS where we don't have access to the codebase. think Salesforce, Zendesk, or Jira.

you can do anything you want without building your own extension https://www.tampermonkey.net

Yeah! We drew a lot of inspiration from TamperMonkey. We think of what we are building almost as an "enterprise user script." We have a "shell" extension that hosts all the UI, automations, and JS that you write. And, when you are ready to share with your team, you can just install our shell extension, login, and everything you built is instantly available to those with access!

Some time ago I made a script manager(https://github.com/fxnoob/Hand-in-the-air) inspired by Alexa skills system. Where you invoke scripts with hand gestures or with your voice.
