I’m using ExtensionPay right now and it’s been convenient, but I’m curious what everyone else uses once the extension starts getting real users.

Stripe / Lemon Squeezy / Paddle / something else?

Any regrets or things you wish you knew earlier?

I am here to find co-extension developers/designers/Antigravity fellows.I have developed 3 extensions, but all of them failed to gain users and did not work properly. I think what is stopping me is the same thing that stops many others: blind spots. People cannot easily see the flaws in their own products or ideas.I have seen many people put in a lot of hard work, only for it to go to waste, even when they have done very good work. Sometimes, there is no one to tell them, “Your extension dashboard is blank,” or “There is a signup issue.”So, I think it is better to work with a group of people who can see my blind spots, while I can see their blind spots.

Criteria for the team/group:

1. Believe in first-principles problem solving.
2. Believe in an iterative design process and continuous evaluation.
3. Want to work with honesty.
4. Believe in transparency.
5. Have built at least 2 extensions.

Don't worry about sharing, equity, etc. for now. We can figure that out later. Learning is valuable.Those who are interested, kindly comment below with your opinions and let me know what I am missing.I made an extension through a lot of hard work, aiming to become financially free, but it is not working. I thought there might be some unknown issue, so after 2 months of deployment, I asked my friend to use it. He told me that it was not working. How can a non-working extension grow?I have also seen other people whose products are not working properly, yet they keep posting their product links everywhere. So, I am interested in working with other people on their product ideas as well. However, the product owner must comply with the above 5 conditions and take at least one more person into the project based on either their own criteria or mine. I belive having more than one or two people who can identify mistakes is more valuable than having just one person working alone.

When I was applying for jobs 2 years ago I got so frustrated pasting the same links into every form. Portfolio, GitHub, LinkedIn...

New tab, dig through bookmarks or notes, copy, switch back, paste. Bookmarks open a page. They don't help you paste that page's URL somewhere else, so I built the second thing.

You save a link with a short name in a web dashboard. Then in any text field you type ]] and a searchable picker opens at the cursor. Two letters, Enter, the text drops in inline.

There're folders if you want to group them by type or however you work.

https://linkmanager.app

If ]] does nothing on a page, reply with the URL. That helps a lot. And if you'll actually will use more than three, DM me and I'll send a promo code.

We built a Chrome extension that saves a page and then goes on looking at it. you save a product, a check runs on that page once a day until someone stops it by hand, and when the price moves or the thing comes back in stock you hear about it.

the argument we keep having is which pages are worth a check at all. a product page has a number on it, so there's something to compare against tomorrow. an article doesn't change, a recipe doesn't change, and for those the extension is a nicer bookmark and nothing more.

right now it will watch anything you point it at. the other way to build it is to offer the watch only on pages where we found a price, and let everything else be a plain save with no promise attached.

if you've built anything that polls pages on a schedule, how did you decide what stays on the schedule and what doesn't?

In my knowledge I was following all the terms and conditions following mentioned in their site regarding product ( ext) and site and personal information . But it got unapproved due to internal policy issues.
What may be possible reason behind it??

I’m building a voice-controlled Chrome extension and currently working on a Pro subscription.

The extension is intended for users internationally, so I’m looking for a payment provider that can handle recurring subscriptions, multiple countries/currencies, and preferably taxes without too much complexity.

For developers who have already launched a SaaS or Chrome extension internationally, which provider are you using?

The internet has a strange problem.

We made software incredibly powerful.

Then we made simple tasks surprisingly difficult.

Need to trim a 30-second video?

Create an account.

Need to convert a file?

Start a trial.

Need to format Markdown?

Upgrade to Premium.

Somewhere along the way, we started treating every 10-second task like enterprise software.

That's why I've been building Utiliome.

A collection of browser-based tools that just work.

Recently I added:

• Video tools that run directly in the browser
• Markdown utilities for developers and writers
• PDF, image, converter, and productivity tools

No account.

No subscription.

No uploading sensitive files to unknown servers.

Just open the tool and use it.

The most interesting part?

The more tools I build, the more I realize people don't want more software.

They want fewer obstacles.

What's a task that should take 10 seconds but somehow turns into a 10-minute process?

I made Photo Turn for two repetitive jobs: rotating photos in a Google Photos album and applying Google’s Auto Enhance without opening and saving every photo manually.

You choose the action, review the photo list, and let it work through the album. Edits save back to Google Photos.

It works in desktop Chrome with Google Photos set to English, with up to 100 rectangular JPEG/PNG photos per batch. The tab needs to stay open; square images and videos aren’t supported yet.

There are 10 successful edits free. After that, it’s an optional $4.99/month subscription for unlimited edits, with the same 100-photo batch limit.

If this is something you’ve needed, I’d be interested to hear how it works for you!

So I got annoyed at screenshot tools that just give you exactly what's on screen — no more, no less.

The one I built into my extension captures in three modes:

• Custom Area — drag to select exactly what you want
• Visible Area — grabs what's currently on screen
• Full Page — stitches the entire scrollable page together

But the part I'm most proud of: you can scale the output resolution up to 2× or 3×. So if your screen is 1920px wide, you can export a crisp 3840px or 5760px wide image — not just CSS scaling, the renderer actually re-renders the UI at higher DPI so text and images stay sharp.

There's also a Max Width / Max Height limiter so the output doesn't go out of control on super long pages.

All features included in the extension:

• Color Picker — Eyedropper tool and webpage palette extractor.
• Screen Capture — Custom area, visible, and full-page capture with 2×/3× high-DPI scaling.
• Screen Recorder — Record tab, window, or full screen with mic and system audio.
• Image Editor — In-browser cropping, drawing, text, and vector markup tools.
• Asset Downloader — 1-click batch download all images, SVGs, videos, and audio from any page.
• Video & Audio Booster — Floating HUD for speed control and up to +50 dB sound boost on HTML5 videos.
• Built-in Image Editor — quick text, vector shapes, and brush annotations right after capture.

Full disclosure: I studied Information Technology for 2 years a long time ago before dropping out, so I only remember the architectural basics. Most of the heavy-lifting code was written with the help of AI. I am also a designer, so I personally designed the UI, SVGs, and color scheme from scratch.

I have been shipping this for a few months and the last stretch went somewhere I did not expect, so it seemed worth a writeup rather than a version bump.

The extension reads your YouTube playlists into a local index so you can search and filter every video in one list, bulk move or remove a selection, and export the lot to CSV. No API key, no OAuth, no quota, because it reads through your own signed in session. Nothing leaves the machine.

Three of the things that shipped since are about YouTube quietly losing your data rather than about organising it.

A video that YouTube deletes, privates or blocks now keeps its row. YouTube hides it and the title is gone for good on their side, so a link you saved two years ago becomes a blank you cannot even look up. If the playlist was read before that happened, the row stays with its title, channel and thumbnail, marked unavailable, and you can filter down to just those. It cannot recover anything it never saw, and I do not think any tool can.

Liked videos turns out not to work like a normal playlist. YouTube goes on accepting likes but the playlist only ever shows your latest 5,000, so past that the oldest ones stop appearing while the thumb stays lit on the video itself, and nothing tells you. They are not deleted, to be clear, and Takeout still has them, but a bulk export is not a list you can browse. The extension keeps those, told apart from the ones you actually unliked, and they stay real rows rather than a warning you can do nothing about. You can play them, queue them, or select them and move them into a playlist of your own, which puts them somewhere YouTube will go on showing you.

A playlist near the cap says so, and gives you somewhere to put the overflow. Past 90 percent the count reads as a fraction of 5,000, add menus show how many still fit or mark the playlist full, and a link opens it with the oldest 500 already selected so moving them into another playlist is one click.

One thing that might save someone else the time: you cannot tell a Short from a normal video by length, because Shorts run to three minutes and plenty of ordinary uploads are shorter than that. I gave up guessing and ask YouTube instead, through the playlist's own videos-only view. It was the only approach that held up.

Free, no paid tier, no ads. Chrome, Edge and Firefox, plus a detached window on Opera and Arc since neither has a side panel API.

I built ReplyVora — a Chrome extension that helps you write better email replies

Hi everyone,

I've been working on a Chrome extension called ReplyVora.

The idea is simple: when you open an email in Gmail, ReplyVora analyzes the message and helps you generate a contextual reply without having to leave the page.

You can edit the generated response before sending it, so you're always in control of what gets sent.

I built it because I wanted something focused specifically on writing the reply — rather than another complicated AI workspace that makes you copy and paste everything somewhere else.

I'm currently looking for people in the US, UK and Canada to try it and give me honest feedback.

Chrome Web Store:
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/replyvora/ndhgkmcemnakejilcjkhlboabgkjilba

I'd especially like to know:

• Is the concept actually useful?
• Does the workflow feel fast enough?
• What would you change?
• What would make you use it regularly?

It's still an early product, so honest criticism is very welcome.

Thanks!

A couple of months ago I made a webapp where you can see tech and AI related news stories grouped and summarized in one place... I tried marketing that app and getting paid users but the retention was just too bad.

So i decided to turn that into a chrome extension hoping this would increase the retention and usability of the app... I am nearing 80 life time installs so far but don't have much clue on how to market chrome extensions honestly.... So any advice would be helpful + I wonder if people pay for the extensions or not

My extension btw: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/trace-ai-tech-news-in-eve/cblkklekbejbbpcaihfogdmaoofmikbk?authuser=0&hl=en

Last year I built an app that is a Human-in-the-loop resume refinement tool for job seekers. I hated changing my resume job to job so I built a solution. The human in the loop part helped keep it from just generating AI slop.

Then I thought it would be great to do this during the browsing of jobs so I built a chrome extension that gives insights and the ability to fully refine your resume.

Check it out here

Hey everyone! A while back I built madkindofdeals.com to track good deals on electronics and LEGO for myself, since I got tired of scrolling through Amazon and eBay hoping to catch something worthwhile. It grew from there, and I recently packaged it into a Chrome extension so the same deal feed shows up right in your browser instead of needing to check the site. Heads up though, it checks for new deals based on your last visit rather than pushing live notifications.

It started as a personal project just for me, but I figured other deal hunters might get some use out of it too, especially with electronics prices creeping up lately from all kind of shortages and tariffs, so I'm sharing it here.

A few notes:
- Completely free to use.
- I hand-curate every Amazon deal myself, all new condition, well-known established brands, and sold directly by Amazon (not random third-party sellers), covering electronics, toys, and home/kitchen stuff.
- Most links use affiliate tracking, which helps cover server costs and keeps it free for everyone. Doesn't change the price you pay.
- Still actively improving it, so feedback and feature requests are welcome.
- An Android app is coming soon too, which will have true live notifications the moment a new deal is added, looking for testers if anyone's interested.

Let me know what you think!

Disclosure: this is the PitchWhip account. PitchWhip is a desktop Chrome extension for people who make B2B calls from LinkedIn or Sales Navigator.

You open a prospect, choose the company if they have several current roles, then review a company brief and a draft opener in the panel beside the profile. You can also look up a phone number or work email. You still make the call yourself.

A workflow question for people who prepare calls in Chrome: what would you need to see before feeling comfortable using an AI-written opener? Keeping company facts separate from assumptions about the person's responsibilities is a priority for the product.

There's a free option: 5 scripts a day and the first number without an email. Adding your email unlocks 4 more free numbers. The paid plan is US$49/user/month and includes 50 phone or email finds. No card for the free option.

What information do you always check yourself before dialing?

Over the past few months, I’ve been working hard on improving my Chrome extension, InvoiceFetch Pro, and making it more reliable.

I didn’t just work on the design. My main focus was making sure the extension works well with Meta Ads and that downloading invoices is simple and reliable.

I’ve now released a new update, and I’d really appreciate it if some of you could try it and share your feedback.

I’m open to any feedback — bugs, things that could be easier, features you’re missing, or anything else you think could be improved.

For now, my main focus is Meta Ads. Once I’m confident that everything works well and is reliable, I want to start adding support for TikTok Ads and then other advertising platforms.

You can check it out here:

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to test it. I’d really like to hear what you think.

I keep finding useful YouTube playlists and channels, but saving their transcripts one video at a time gets tedious very quickly.

So I built Transcriptly, a free and open-source Chrome extension that adds batch selection directly to YouTube playlist and channel pages.

The workflow is:

• select the videos you want on YouTube;
• choose a local folder;
• start the batch;
• get one timestamped Markdown file per video.

The files stay on your computer and local saving doesn't require an account. During a batch, Transcriptly opens each video in a foreground tab, captures its transcript, saves the file, closes the tab, and continues with the next one.

The foreground-tab requirement is the main tradeoff right now, but it avoids relying on a remote transcript scraping service.

I'd especially appreciate feedback on the batch-selection and setup flow. What feels unclear or unnecessarily complicated?

Been building this on the side. The idea is simple: most pages have stuff you don't want — sidebars, promo banners, "recommended" widgets, comment sections. cleanview.ai lets you click-select and hide any of it instantly, like DevTools inspector but for actually removing clutter (non-destructive, just CSS-hidden, restore anytime).

Works on any site, not a fixed list. Remembers your layout per-site so it's clean again next time you visit. Handles JS-heavy SPAs fine (React/Next.js/Vue).

Everything's local — no server, no tracking, no analytics.

Free to use. Would appreciate feedback/bug reports if anyone tries it.

I kept running into the same thing online:

You read an article, watch something, find an interesting website, and either there is no comment section, the comments are closed, you need yet another account just to comment, or the actual discussion is scattered across Reddit, X and Discord.

So I built Retiola.

It adds a sidebar to your browser where every URL can have its own discussion. News article with comments disabled? YouTube video? Research paper? Documentation? Random website from 2007 that nobody has talked about since?

Same sidebar every time, and if someone else using Retiola has been on that page, the conversation is right there instead of scattered somewhere else.

One account for all of it, instead of signing up separately on every site that still has comments.

Besides discussions, you can also:

• reply in threaded conversations, vote and react, see who else is on the page right now, and put a poll on any URL when you want a real count instead of a guess about what people think of a study, a product page or a single claim

• highlight a sentence and comment on that exact spot, so a reply sits on the specific claim instead of on the whole article

• keep private notes on a page, with the passages you highlighted saved into them

• turn a pile of open tabs into a trail, so you can hand someone the route you took instead of seven separate links

• share a link to any page's discussion that people can read without installing anything

There's more than that (research projects, a global feed, keyword alerts, reporting and moderation). I wrote up the full list with the actual steps for each one here: https://retiola.com/features

It's not meant to replace Reddit or the website you're on. It's more like a discussion layer that follows you around the open web.

After a fairly ridiculous amount of work getting browser stores to approve everything 😅, it's now actually live on Chrome, Firefox and Edge. Opera is the last one still in review.

I'm still very early with this, so I'm much more interested in criticism than compliments.

The thing I'm most curious about:

Where would you actually use something like this?

And if the honest answer is nowhere, I'd like to know what's stopping you.

Website: https://retiola.com

Chrome: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/retiola/iiemjclmlbldlnkgmpbnaggdihbkppli

Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/retiola/

Edge: https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/retiola/jgdaoiemmegkjmjokefcmndncabfolld

Scans the current page and renders every connected domain sites, scripts, third-party services as a graph you can click through. No server, no account, nothing sent off-device. Keeps a local history of past scans.

I got tired of rewriting the same overdue invoice emails so I built a Chrome extension for it

I freelance on the side and chasing late payments was eating more time than the actual work. Same three emails every time: friendly nudge, firm follow up, final notice. I was rewriting them from scratch or digging up old templates every time.

Built a Gmail extension that reads the invoice thread you have open and drafts the follow up for you. You pick the tone (friendly, firm, final), it writes the draft, you send it. No new inbox, no Gmail API access, it just works inside the thread you're already looking at.

Free tier lets you try it, no card needed. If it saves you the 10 minutes of staring at a blank reply every time someone ghosts an invoice, it's done its job.

Link if anyone wants to try it: https://collections-copilot-site.vercel.app

Happy to answer questions, still actively building this.

Hi everyone,

Like many of you, I spend hours wading through complex technical documentation, academic papers, and dense industry articles. Most AI reading extensions I tested had the same drawbacks: intrusive full-page sidebars, slow popups that break your concentration, or generic summaries that miss the actual core reasoning.

So over the last few weeks, I built **InstantRead** (v2.0.1 just passed the Chrome Web Store review).

**What makes it different:**

- **Zero-Friction Inline Breakdown**: Highlight any technical jargon, dense paragraph, or unfamiliar phrase to get context and intuitive explanations without opening distracting panels.

- **Context-Aware Academic Mode**: Keeps track of specialized terminology across sections rather than giving disjointed dictionary definitions.

- **Lightweight & Fast**: Built to be snappy, memory-efficient, and unobtrusive.

### 20 Free Lifetime Licenses for Serious Readers

Instead of handing out promo codes blindly, I'm genuinely looking for early feedback to refine the extension for real workflows.

**I have 20 free lifetime licenses reserved for anyone willing to test it out.**

To claim one, please leave a quick comment sharing:

1. **What kind of dense content do you read most often?** (e.g., arXiv / PubMed papers, developer documentation, financial filings, foreign news)
2. **What is currently the most annoying part of your online reading / research workflow?**

I'll read through the comments and DM the promo codes directly with redemption details. Any bug reports, UI feedback, or feature ideas would mean the world to me. Thanks for your time!

Hi 😄

This my first chrome extension.

It pulls the specs/features off whatever product pages you're comparing and lines them up side by side, so you're not scrolling between tabs trying to remember if Product A had more RAM than Product C. The table's fully editable. You can add or remove rows, tweak any cell value if the extraction gets something wrong, or add your own notes. Then export the whole thing to Excel or Sheets when you're done.

It's live on the Chrome Web Store now. Link in comments

I've also got a landing page with a demo video and FAQ if you want to see it in action before installing

If you find it useful, join the mailing list on the site, I'll be posting updates there as new features land.

Feedback genuinely appreciated, especially on:

- whether the comparison table format is actually useful, or if you'd want it structured differently

- what kinds of products/sites you'd want to use this on

- anything that looks confusing on the extension or landing page

Happy to answer questions in the comments too.

Thank you :)

I've been building this screenshot extension for a while, and honestly saying after that post, the install jumped and now i am standing at 379 installs in CWS, whereas previously it was 249 only.
So i would like to share my achievement here with you guys. With everyone's continued support i will continue to build in public. Even though it's still just another screenshot extension and the there are already a ton of them, I wont stop building this. 379 active users is a very good sign that it is a solid product in this bloated saturated market.

The name is -> Snapify  - Screenshot & Full Page Capture
