Care to elaborate on the extensions? I just started building an extension this past week and have been heavily relying on ChatGPT for help getting going. Just curious on your idea. My first extension is effectively a real time cheater for Wordle in the browser. I will have it published by the end of the month and fingers crossed I can make this cross platform as well as iOS app. If nothing else, I just want to learn more about building browser extensions.

I'd say it's incredibly easy to build a basic extension, and if you know a little programming (at least to know what to say to ChatGPT) then you can get more complicated with your extensions. I mostly get my results by simply conversing with it like I would a person. Tell it what you are seeing and what is wrong (ex "The font displayed on the screen should be larger and centered on the screen."). You can also ask it to start logging errors to the console, then simply copy and pasting the error and ask GPT what is wrong and how to improve it. Another tip is to provide some custom instructions in your profile and ask it to always provide the full code when updating particular sections. Without this, it will just give you the small snippet you need to update and you have to figure out where that goes. Probably not a bad idea to tell it to always use manifest V3 when creating extensions (there are some structural changes which would brick your extension when the migration occurs in June 2024. When you are done, you can also ask it for instructions on publishing your extension in addition to creating your icon set with Dall-e for example. If you want to charge for your extension, I think there is a tool called ExtensionPay which provides an API. ChatGPT might be able to incorporate that code (I haven't tried that yet though). My email is in my profile if you want to chat more.
