Inquiry on how to make extensions #56

Closed deadmaze closed 3 months ago

deadmaze commented 3 months ago

Hey @tuberry , I am really enjoying your extension. I wanted to ask if you might know of any places to get started on learning how to design an extension, as I went through the extension files and noticed that they are rather complex (you have the extension.js, colors, js, menu.js, etc. files included in the package). Out of curiosity, where did you find the most resources in order to develop your color picker application? Thanks in advance for your time!

I answered a similar question here that might help you get started.

noticed that they are rather complex

These codes could be bad practices for this :|. If you need some realistic examples for reference, the official or Ubuntu‘s set of extensions might be much more appropriate.

where did you find the most resources in order to develop your color picker application?

In addition to the resources in that reply, I would say Google, for example, the color format conversion comes from online searches. :)
