Check what is (still) needed to get the extension in the Chrome Web Store. The first step is having a list of what we need to do.

svdwyer commented 7 months ago

a Google developer account at the Chrome Web Store
small script to package the extension as a zip
description, icon, screenshot(s) for the extension. uploading a short video is also possible but certainly not necessary
privacy policy publicly available
purpose of the extension
list of all permissions the extension needs and a valid reason for requesting those permissions

possibly a build step to minify the code, to reduce the download time when installing the extension.

@svdwyer Can you add the links of the sources you used?

svdwyer commented 7 months ago

Do you mean official documentation steps to publish to the Chrome webstore? https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/2714278?hl=en https://developer.chrome.com/docs/webstore/publish

pheyvaer commented 7 months ago

All the sources that you used to compile the above list. Official or not.

@svdwyer What is the difference between "description" and "purpose of the extension"?

svdwyer commented 7 months ago

According to Google, Chrome extensions should have a focused purpose, ideally 1 single clear purpose. Basically a one-liner that describes its use. The description typically includes all its features.
