This was a relatively quick project, taking a few weeknights. Tools: - Claude - Cursor (IDE) - Cursorful (for screen recording) - Chrome browser, obviously

Chrome extensions are simpler than I thought to package but require more scrutiny than I thought. Google stopped allowing paid extensions in 2020 and brandishes an "untrusted" message upon install for newer developers' extensions.

They also go through a thorough security review by Google's team, so allocate a few days to your release cycle if you're thinking of doing an extension.

All in all though I'd recommend, also to brush up on your JS skills.
