Creating and deploying Chrome Extensions is not as straightforward as deploying a webapp (even though CRXs are much simpler). We've been working on helping developers with basic JS skills create custom Chrome Extensions!
Come try building your own extension :)

We've been working on a set of templates to show off what you can build as well.
Once you sign in, try out these ready to use templates
- [Stack Overflow Helper](https://hq.extension.dev/template/511)
- [LinkedIn Profile Clipper](https://hq.extension.dev/template/507)
- [Remove distracting websites](https://hq.extension.dev/template/526)
Or use these templates to add your own custom button to popular websites
- [add a custom button to Google Search to search only Reddit](https://hq.extension.dev/template/519)
- [add a button to Tweets to create a Tweet Labeler](https://hq.extension.dev/template/445)
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!

Yeah, pretty much
Sad to see that FloydHub didn't work out, but you really did build an amazing platform.
