Shipping as a Chrome extension or app? #10

Since it is entirely written in JavaScript and only supported by Chrome, Chrome extension looks like a perfect production form for this project.

Hi @myst729,

I'm not doing much work on this demo these days, but I think it would make more sense to build the functionality into a Progressive Web Application, rather than making an extension. That would provide the option of installing it to make it accessible offline (both on the desktop and on mobile, which doesn't support extensions) without making installation a requirement.

Sounds more reasonable than what I thought.
