I like it. Do you support WebSQL? One category of apps I think would be interesting is caching SaaS data locally to make for fast search. e.g. Intercom is painfully slow, I want an extension that caches recent Intercom data for fast search and messaging.

We made this extension recently. It lets you query data in any `<table>` in any open Chrome tab. Pretty nuts what you can build with extensions vs. a standard web app. Good luck! https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sqanything/naejbcfcmjhcgcjhbddfogknbaggdoek https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sqanything/naejbcf... https://doc.seekwell.io/sqanything https://doc.seekwell.io/sqanything

  Woah that's amazing! I thought the name SeekWell was familiar, I think we used your SQL -> GSheets integration before!

    Cool, curious, what company were you at? Good luck with the new thing!

  awesome! Have you considered taking payments? I recently made a browser extension payment system that you don't even need to run your own server to use: https://extensionpay.com/ https://extensionpay.com/

    This is cool, extremely relevant now that Google removed payments for extensions! We are free during the developer preview/beta and plan to have a really generous hobby tier. We are rolling our own Stripe integration down the road for enterprise users!

Ohh, We haven't tried WebSQL yet with our builder, but from a quick Google search it seems possible! Another route is to use something like http://alasql.org/ http://alasql.org/ to cache data in localstorage so you can query it instantly. Would a search UX be better, or a text box to directly write SQL over your data?

  Yeah, we use alasql in the app I linked to below. It's amazing! Also supports querying CSV's, Excel, Sheets, etc. Pretty amazing package.
