Yeah that's where it becomes a bit difficult, I find. Although the kit focuses on Chrome Extensions, you can actually convert the result to a Firefox extension with some minor tweaks (and I'm hoping to add some tools to further simplify this).

I had a similar experience with Firefox and I think for some, it's hard to justify that extra effort (from development all the way to publishing) given the current market share of Chrome in comparison.

That's something I'm interested in writing about as well. This is my first true digital product so I'm learning a lot along the way. I wrote a little bit about the Product Hunt launch results for it here: https://ryanfitzgerald.ca/blog/first-product-hunt/. Definitely more to come!

Thank you! Chrome extensions are definitely a great way to get familiar with Chrome's APIs and what's possible in the browser, as well as Javascript in general. I think the boilerplate and setup is a big barrier to entry for a lot of people since it seems quite tedious at first glance, so that was a big driving factor in creating this.

Hey HN! The kit is meant to help you build and grow Chrome extensions and includes: 6 Basic Starter templates (HTML/CSS/JS), 7 React Starter templates (with utility scripts), 3 fully functional example extensions, and an ebook.
