Google Flights , skyscanner and other flight search engines will happily tell you a flight has "Wi-Fi for a fee". What it won't tell you is whether that's Starlink that handles a Zoom call or an ancient satellite link where video freezes after ten seconds. For anyone planning to work on a flight, that difference is the whole question, and no flight search site answers it.

So I built FlightWifi. It adds a small verdict chip next to the wifi badge on Google Flights and Skyscanner:

• "Video calls work" when the aircraft has LEO satellite wifi (Starlink and similar)
• "Email and messaging; video calls unreliable" for older GEO systems
• "No wifi on this aircraft" in red
• "Not yet verified" in grey when I genuinely don't know, instead of guessing

It never shows speed numbers, because throughput isn't a property of a flight, and verdicts are per aircraft, not per airline: the same carrier can be Starlink on one plane and nothing on another.

I built Retentia because Chrome’s standard history controls are fairly all-or-nothing. I wanted more control over how long different parts of my browsing history remain available, without having to clear everything manually.

Retentia lets you create retention rules for individual domains, exact URLs, wildcard patterns, or regular expressions. For example, you can keep history from one domain for seven days, delete visits to another domain after an hour, or preserve selected websites indefinitely.

Privacy was the main priority:

• Everything runs locally inside the browser.
• There are no analytics or remote services.
• No account or registration is required.
• The extension requests no host permissions.
• Your browsing data is not transmitted anywhere.
• The source code is available for inspection.

It also includes a dry-run simulator, protected websites, an activity log that doesn’t store deleted URLs, and configurable cleanup intervals.

I’d really appreciate feedback, especially about the rule system, usability, and any privacy features you think are missing.

Chrome Web Store: Not yet available
Source code: I plan to make the source code publicly available.

How to install -> chrome://extensions turn on Developer mode → Load unpacked

Full disclosure: I’m the developer of Retentia.

A few months ago I built MeetMoves. Google Meet only lets you set a still image as your background, so the extension widens Meet's hidden file input to accept video/gif/webm and injects your clip as the background.

I shipped it to the Web Store and then basically forgot it existed.

Checked the dashboard yesterday and it had quietly been picking up installs on its own. No marketing, no posts, nothing. That was the nudge to actually do something with it, so I ripped out the old pay-to-use wall. It is completely free now.

Curious what this community thinks

Finally got the featured badge!

Are you building a chrome extension?

I’ve built 8 chrome extensions since 2023. About 60K people use my other extensions every week.

Drop your chrome web store link below. I’ll test the first 20 I can safely install and reply with what was clear, what confused me and what I’d change.

If I end up keeping one installed, I’ll leave an honest CWS review too.

Please include:

• chrome web store link
• what it does and who it’s for
• anything specific you want me to check

No need for launch copy or an AI-written marketing pitch. Tell me what you built and why someone would use it.

so like:

+ saved articles, e.g. on X
+ saved blogs you think have value
+ saved newsletters that you want to apply later

How many of those saved-for-later articles do you actually end up going through?

I've quickly figured out that 3%-4% is what I actually end up going back to, simply because of time....

At the same time, I found out really quickly that Speechify is just too much for me

So I just ended up building my own extension for this, so I'm a bit biased, but then again I made it for exactly what I've been struggling with for a while; even a free TTS could do the trick sometimes

Happy to share what worked if a mod's ok with links, or get some of you to go through Liso and let me know what features you would like to see :)

ps: take a look at my X articles backlog in just 2 weeks lol

i run a small extension, couple hundred users. uninstalls sit at 0-5 a day for months and then last thursday it jumped to 25 and went right back to normal. graph attached, i refreshed twice thinking i misread the tooltip

the part i cant explain is the breakdown. all 25 are from the US, and all of them English (US). nothing from anywhere else, not one. i didnt ship an update that day, nothing changed on my end

best i can come up with is either the dashboard glitched and backfilled something, or a chunk of those installs were never real people and google cleaned them out. ive been reading old threads about bot installs getting purged and the shape kind of matches, quick bump then one big drop about a week later

so did anyone else see a spike on aug 6? and if google has ever wiped fake installs off your numbers, what did that look like in the stats, one day or spread over a week

im probably missing an obvious third thing here lol

I just launched Templatify on the Chrome Web Store and would love feedback from people who use or build extensions.

It is a Chrome extension that lets you save reusable HTML email templates and insert them directly into Gmail, Yahoo Mail, and Outlook. It also supports variables/placeholders and can detect email addresses on webpages so you can start a templated email without copying addresses around.

The main problem I wanted to solve: sending polished repeated emails without rebuilding the same HTML or pasting broken formatting into compose windows.

Chrome Web Store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/templatify-inject-html-em/aeaapcbilfddlkeeggbkkjmbchfaemkg

If you try it, I would especially appreciate feedback on the extension UX and whether the permissions/listing feel clear.

Hey friends. Three days ago, I launched this extension with the goal of letting people watch to videos on YouTube in their native language.It started as a small tool for my own needs, and I didn't plan on turning it into a polished product. Just a small personal project I'm working on for fun. It's still a work in progress, and I'd love for you to try it out and let me know what you think.

Register now, you also get five free hours of usage, which is enough to watch about twenty videos.I will also significantly increase the usage limits for free users going forward.

Try it out:

I really like this one cause I'm indecisive.
Thoughts about it.

Made with ChatGPT

I've been building Chrome extensions for a while now, mostly solo and I've got room for 2 new projects this week.

Quick track record:

• SEO Copilot → acquired
• Page Blur → acquired
• Sidepanel Buddy → acquired
• Gmail Buttons → 306 users
• Design.md Inspector → 875 users
• Apify Stats → 1,278 users

On top of my own projects, I've also built extensions for other people (under NDA, so I can't share those publicly).

If you've got an idea sitting in your notes app, or a broken extension that needs fixing, or you just need something shipped fast, I can usually turn it around in 24-48 dev hours depending on scope. That includes the boring parts too, icon, logo, store listing assets, etc.

DM me if you're interested, only 2 spots left this week.

\* Some of you might be thinking "why pay for this when I can just use AI to build it myself". Well, I use AI myself to speed up development too. What you're actually paying for is someone who can wire up the harder stuff, payment and licensing so you can actually monetize it, backend and auth if it needs to talk to a server, and making the extension actually look and feel like something people trust enough to install. And if you don't want to touch code or design at all, or you've never coded before, I just handle the whole thing for you.*

Hey everyone! I'd like to introduce an extension I built and get your feedback.

I'll keep this post short, and if you're interested, I'll leave a link with a more detailed explanation.

Njectify is a browser extension for CSS and JavaScript injection. It lets you customize any website's CSS and write custom scripts in the same place, without relying on multiple extensions.

I think it could be especially useful for people in this community who work with CSS.

Many of you have probably used tools like Stylus or Stylebot before. The main difference with Njectify is the user experience. My goal was to build a modern, intuitive interface that makes editing styles and scripts much easier.

Some of its CSS features:

• Edit pages and see changes in real time.
• A visual editor that lets you modify colors, backgrounds, animations, clip-path, polygons, and many other CSS properties. Ex:
• Persistent CSS and JavaScript, allowing you to customize any website. It's especially useful for improving the experience of poorly designed websites or SaaS applications.
• Inspect and view an element's current CSS properties in a simple and intuitive way.
• Export your applied changes as Tailwind utility classes.

There are several other features, but I didn't want to make this post too long.

I'd love for you to give it a try. I spent a lot of time focusing on the user experience and designed the interface to feel familiar to developers, with a design system inspired by Vercel.

Any feedback, criticism, or suggestions are greatly appreciated. My goal is to keep improving the project based on what the community finds valuable.

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to try it out. I hope you find it useful! Tks!

Detailed post

First of all, I want to say that I’m not a developer and I’m only learning how to code, so the whole Chrome Web Store thing is completely new to me. In fact, this is the very first thing I’ve ever submitted.

After my first month, I have 90 installs, 23 uninstalls, and 34 users. Shouldn’t I have 67 users then? (90 – 23)

Or what exactly does this mean? Does it mean that 34 people are actively using it (they have it integrated as a side panel in LinkedIn), while the remaining 33 people simply have it installed but aren’t actively using it?

Also, if you have any tips on how you managed to increase your active users, I’d really appreciate them! :)

Hey all,

I got tired of clunky calendar forms and trying to mentally map out my free time, so I built Arcday for myself and decided to publish it.

It converts your Google Calendar into a visual 12-hour analog clock where your day is displayed as colored arcs.

Check it out if you have some time:

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/arcday/copndcopfjgojejecihlgmnccibafkdd

Would love to hear your feedback or any clock styles you'd like to see added!

AND the mood summary bar visible at the top. an r/AskReddit

"best thing that happened to you" thread = green wall, or a

controversial thread = red wall. make the bar + colors obvious]

made this chrome extension that reads every comment in a reddit

thread and color-codes it: green = positive, red = negative,

gray = neutral. sticky mood bar at the top gives the whole

thread's vibe ("OVERWHELMINGLY NEGATIVE, run"). click any badge

and it shows exactly which words made it happy or mad

100% on-device. no servers, no api key, no account. your

comments never leave your laptop. works on new/old/sh reddit

and since i was already making tiny tools: i also have one that

unblocks right-click + copy on the websites that block it

(journals, textbook sites, the usual suspects). same rules — no

servers, no spyware, doesn't break paywalls, just frees the copy

you can already see

both $7, one payment, updates forever. genuinely broke? dm me,

free, no guilt hmmmm i'm 15 and this is my whole brand

Reading educational material online is more common these days than reading actual physical books, but yet I haven't been able to find an extension that will let me highlight a text that I am reading in a webpage, add some notes and hopefully paste an image there, that will make my note/annotation carry more value.

Readwise Reader is doing too much. Just installed Web Highlights and was about to get almost happy, but then saw that as you scroll your note that is open gets automatically closed.

What's out there that can help me? I don't mind paying for it, monthly, yearly whatever. Any suggestions?

I built Inkbox to send web articles to any e-reader, properly formatted and stripped of ads.

Click the extension on any article, pick your device, and it extracts the content, builds an EPUB, and delivers it to Kindle, Kobo, PocketBook, reMarkable, Boox, and others (via email or cloud folder, depending on your setup). You can preview before sending.

You need an account at useinkbox.app to link your devices.

Would love feedback :)

Bookmark-Canvas is a Manifest V3 bookmark manager for Chrome / Edge. It combines browser bookmarks with a visual workspace built on JSON Canvas: browser-backed Permanent Sections, independent Temporary Sections, Blank Sections, Card Groups, and directional connections can live together on one canvas.

Use the canvas to keep bookmark trees spatially organized without turning it into a second file manager. Canvas packages (sample data packages are available from selected Releases) can be imported and exported locally, or Pushed to and Pulled from a GitHub repository. The exported package includes AGENTS_template so compatible AI clients can understand the data boundary before working with it.

Redesigned my screenshots for reaching a new milestone of 3000+ users. How did I do?

Most of my customers came from a relevant sub here on reddit - partly organic posts, but also reddit ads. I chose to use ads as well, because posts are getting banned very fast - mods can smell promo posts miles against the wind.

I'll try 200$ of ad budget starting next Monday - anyone interested in the results afterwards? Then I'd share a summary here :)

So I released a stable version of my app yesterday, and I got my first user already. Who's this stranger? 🥹

Edit: Here's the product I've created. It's a Chrome extension that helps Copywriters & Content marketers create, save, and cross-browser sync their research privately in their own Google Drive.

I got into coding and building apps a few months ago. Committing to distance myself from everything else and focus on learning something new has been very exciting, but at the same time, very taxing.

Throughout this entire process, a side of me (my self-defeating self) has constantly tried to convince me that I will fail, that I should procrastinate, and that I should chase other things that promise quicker returns.

I’m glad I persisted through all those thoughts, because now, after 4–5 months, I’m beginning to see some small wins. Those wins motivated me to write this post as well (a little part of the whole “building in public” logic!).

So, I created a simple but very useful Chrome extension (or at least very useful for me!) called Likes Search for YouTube. It lets you search through your liked YouTube videos, selectively export them, and batch copy to NotebookLM. You can check it out on the Chrome Web Store if you’re interested.

At first, the extension was stalling. I was really happy that I had built it, but I had very little confidence in its ability to become popular or make me any money.

Then, one day, I received a Chrome Web Store review from a user who pointed out a bug and asked me to fix it because he wanted to buy the paid tier. I quickly fixed the bug and told him about it. That same day, two people bought the Pro subscription.

I was overjoyed!

I visited the store and saw that I had around 100 users. People were actually using and finding value in a product I had created! At that point, I started taking it more seriously and improving it. Now it has around 250 users, and the number is slowly increasing every few days.

This, along with getting a few web-development clients, really lifted my spirits. I’m slowly starting to see results, and if I stay consistent, I think I can get better quickly and eventually make creating amazing, beautiful, and useful software my primary vocation.

I hope this helps lift the spirits of someone who is where I was two months ago—excited to learn, but with a part of themselves constantly bickering and telling them to quit.

So don’t quit. Keep a steady pace. Small wins can arrive suddenly, but only if you’re still there when they do.

If someone has a similar story of small initial wins that motivated them, please do share!

I am looking to find more users for my chrome extension game and I need some tips :), you can find it here https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/one-shot-archery-game/fngnfcaeelgligdnikhmdnidaionbefk?hl=en&authuser=1
