What Needs to Be Done

I’ve decided to develop a browser extension that would be incredibly useful for software developers. However, the moment I actually tried to start, I realized just how much I didn’t know. So, my first step was to list out all the things I need to figure out.

Things I Don’t Understand Yet

• About Browser Extensions
  • Which programming language should I use?
  • Which browsers should I target?
  • How do I register the extension on different platforms?
• Understanding Browser Extensions
  • How does the Browser Extensions work?
  • How can it generate revenue?
  • Are there similar extensions already out there?
• About the Application I Want to Create
  • What will the user scenarios look like?
  • How do I create pop-up windows?
  • How can I pass text to AI?/ChatGPT?
  • What types of tests should I run?
• Miscellaneous
  • How to save code on GitHub
  • Is the app I want to develop legally compliant?

Seeing it all listed up, I realize there’s so much I don’t know. But I’ll start by building the simplest feature first!

And I will so be happy to see my app listed here someday…
