Notes on UI/UX plugin with Chrome Extension

Let’s start with generic tooling.

Utilities: Timestamp and Random Hex
This is a simple utility as a local standalone.

Services: Moon Phase
We can also create a plugin that is linked to APIs.

There is more work when the utility is calling a remote API, rather than a local standalone. Depending on the services, there are various subscription on the page when applying for the APIs (Caveat: The author discourages anyone from giving their details, especially credit card details, away).

Adding the extensions …

Here are the utilities:

1. chrome-ext-utilities-timestamp-and-random-hex
2. chrome-ext-moon-phase
