Hi HN!

We posted a Show HN 73 days ago about extension.dev. In the 73 days since our last post, we interviewed 70 of you over Zoom. With your help, we designed, built, and shipped V1 of extension.dev. We are now ready to help everyone build and share their own custom extensions.

V1 of extension.dev focuses on helping engineers at companies build Chrome extensions to make their teammates more productive. We've seen early users create context-aware Sidebars to reduce context switching, add buttons to their internal dashboards, and even modify the DOM by removing intrusive elements.

We are excited to invite the HN community to join the developer preview before we make a public release!

    This is an interesting idea, good luck with it!

    This might make browser extensions much more mainstream for internal tools inside companies.

I've got the chance to be one of the interviewed. I really like the way this is going. Their idea for extensions building and distribution is really clever and I appreciate how they've been tackling the developer experience.

Really cool! Kind of remind me of FlutterFlow from W21 batch :)

    Oh I haven't heard of FlutterFlow! Just checked out their landing page - super cool. You can develop everything visually nowadays!
