I dig this and I love the coding "live" nature of the video. Nice to see mistakes and bumps in the road along the way. The best way to learn how to do something right is to do it wrong first ha ha. Great video and I'll be checking out more of your content, for sure!

This was cool. Since the video was only 11 mins I figured it would be like Part 1 of 10. Pretty cool that you were able to put together an entire working chrome extension in such a short video. I’m excited to try this myself

A few years ago I had a storage unit at a storage facility. I was waiting for escrow to close on my house so I could move all my items into my new home. About a week before closing someone broke into my storage unit and stole pretty much everything I owned. Among the items were all of my computers, servers, hard drives, TVs, audio gear, pretty much every electronic device I owned and most of my tools and most of my kitchen. Fast forward a bit, I filed a claim with my homeowners insurance. As part of the claim, I had to submit a detailed list of items stolen. Keep in mind, there was 25 years worth of my life in that unit, which made it nearly impossible to remember everything that was in there. So was born the dilemma. To solve the dilemma I turned to coding. I decided to write a Chrome extension that would look through my purchase history on various sites (Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, etc) and pull item descriptions, purchase dates and purchase price and output them into CSV files. Second dilemma: I'm not a developer. I'm a photographer. I had no experience with Chrome extensions aside from adding them to my browser from the marketplace and I had zero knowledge of pure Javascript. So off I went into my endeavor. It took me about 2 weeks to learn just enough JS and Chrome API to get my head around what I needed to do. It took me another 2 weeks to build the extension and test it. Very long story short, it worked! I was able to get all of the information I needed from the sites I had any purchase history on and submit it to the insurance company. All in all, I lost over $80,000 USD in items that I was able to find in my purchase history alone, WAY above my claim limit. However, I gained a pretty good skill that I still use to this day for various projects and problems I feel can be solved through automation. I wonder if this makes a software developer now?

Great video. I like that you focused more on creating the extension and it all clicked for me. Much better than making an overly complicated function when I'm just interested in learning the do's and don'ts on how to create Chrome Extension.

This is soooooo amazing Tiffany!!! I enjoyed so much of this. PLS if you could, make it even longer would love to watch this. Like mentioned, added value indeed!

Thanks for the vid, it's really enlightening to see what a ´real´ process looks like, just showing what you do step by step with full transparency. It's a breath of fresh air in the genre of youtube programmers.

Yours was the first video that popped up when i searched for 'how to create chrome extension'. I learnt how, and I enjoyed it. Your tip about RapidAPI was Awesome. You are doing great. Pls keep posting. Subscribed! :)

Never knew making a chrome extension could be so easy!! Great video👏

I LOVE this video. It makes me happy that we see you make mistakes and it isn't just rehersed and scripted. I like the casual tone of it. I subscribed just because of this video.

This is exactly what I needed. A lot of tutorials already went ahead and dived into a complicated application to implement into your extension. I was looking for someone to implement it fast and quick. Thanks for this.

This is the clearest and most informative coding vid I’ve seen in a while.

Great content just wanted to point out that you mapped your list items into a tag I believe the proper way would be to not also would like get a heads up that the API was not a free id. Overall great content please keep it up.

I really enjoyed building this chrome extension with you. Thank you so much for always uploading such educational and informative videos!

Didn't know it was that simple to start a chrome extension, so cool. Thank you for this video!

Love this, Tiffany! Unique utilities that we can all use! Added value !

I always wanted to create an extension, after I learned javascript, I never created it, your video encourages me to create. I will create something that helps me during the day :)

New to coding and this makes me so happy! Never knew it could be so simple! Thank you!

This really helps a lot for the first day of my extension development!!! Thanks🎉

Just started learning how to code. This seems like a fun way to make a mini project to practice!! Thank you

I absolutely love this and would absolutely love to go further in depth with what we can do with extensions.

The video is short, to the point and just what I was looking for.. Thanks :)

you are that one youtuber that once i saw in the feed i would never skip 😂 always worth it to watch your videos!

That is so cool ! I'm really inspired by your content, your background and everything...your personality is really endearing too! Great job !!

Great video Tiffany! Short but straight to the point.

Wow, I didn't know how to do it. Now I realize it's really easy. Thank you so much, even I'm improving my English.

Great Video, as always 👏👏! We should definitely continue building it up. Can't Wait!

Thanks, it was an excelent primer and today (with some help of gpt-35 and 4) i've developed my first SEO extension for chrome!

Very original intro. Anti-intro but being completely comfortable with it. We are only human after all. Well done!

We need more on chrome extensions! Great video!

Thank you Tiff! This is exactly what i need to get started

Thank you !! That was so simple with a great explanation!! Bless you!

Ok, that was really fun! I think the length is perfect. Break it up in sections, and keep it up. Totally subscribed!

This video help me to see how easy and useful programming can be thank you. I guess the next step would be to be able to purchase tickts for any of the groups. Thanks again.

A nice and quick tutorial. Love it!

Love the video, tiff ❤️. Keep up the good work. Love from Maldives 🇲🇻

Wait! That's it??? That is really cool especially since the possibilities are endless. Also would like to know how we could publish our extension in chrome web store. Thank you for this short tut!

It would be cool to see this fleshed out. I just started making an extension and want to see what other people are making and their process.

exactly what I needed to get started. thank you fam!

You remind me a lot of my sister, she teaches things the same way you do. You are a really good teacher 👍 Very good at pacing, keeping audience focused, etc. Well done.

I love the video! I'm making my Final Paper at school and wanna know how to handle the files and publish it, it very fluid and well edited! I'm a junior programmer in Brasil, dreaming to be a senior full stack one day

Seems like something fun. Been wondering but haven't dive into Extension side. Thank you for sharing

when you said "This is so embarrassing, what we didn't do" I screamed at you as you sad, but not the way that you thought. It was like this "Thank youuuu, you are a real person doing coding" :)

Good stuff! Would love to see a follow video on how to style it, how to make a paid version of the extension, etc.

Amazing stuff! This might give me a good reason to finally start wrinting some JS soon!

In general, the same principle can be applied to create extensions for Firefox. Congrats, great content!

A simple, clear, and concise tutorial, thank you! 😃👍

I didn't know about the ! + Enter, so thank you for considering learners of all levels 🙂

WOW. Nice utility! I'll be exploring it. THANKS

This is sick! Idk it was gonna be that easy

Do it! Build this extension. Thanks this was refreshing to watch.

lol. you and we could make a chrome extension in 10 minutes. amazing!

Thanks Tiff, I didn’t know that creating an API could be that simple. I always imagined it to be much more complicated than this. After watching your video here it gave me the courage to go to the rapidApi site and see what API I may like to try out. I wonder if I could find an API for the Yankees since I’m in NYC? Appreciate you sharing this.

wow not as hard as i thought it was be, so cool thanks for sharing.

Thank you for this training! I would like to learn more about your software.

Straightforward video! I love it! Instead of just a pulldown list popping out when you click the extension, how do you instead open a new page. Then, there's an image and some text on the page. I'm actually trying to create a block-site extension. Like say you want to stop social media websites from opening during your working hours. Then there's a toggle when you want it enabled or not, and a timer would be great too. I've seen similar extensions like this. But I just want to create something I can call my own. Hopefully, you'll notice this. Thanks.

As a new Full Stack Developer this was super cool...

Super awesome that you show 'mistakes', even though I wouldn't even really call them that. I hate tutorials that make it seem like the developer writes pages of error-free code effortlessly, as it provides an unrealistic view of real-world development. Also, please surround your async calls in try/catch blocks ;-)

Thanks miss for giving me about building chrome extensions and coding I found interesting under the environment it was developed.🥰✌

a very fun and cozy tutorial thanks Tiff.😊 I made one that helps me to have a limit time for youtube and other social medas of 1h a day it was fun to make

great video, thanks for sharing with us!

just got the right way ,Great work Tiff

Straight to the point. Thank you ✨✨

The vlog style of these videos is definitely unique in a fun way. Keep it up.

Thanks for the tutorial, I encourage you to do more :)

SUBBED! Awesome video! I would like to see more of it built out too

Amazing! I tried to make an extension in 2011 but the documentation was so obtuse that I abandoned my project. Thank you for making this video.

Thank you Tiff. Please make more video tutorials of Chorme Extensions.

🌟 Absolutely loved this tutorial, Tiff! Your fun and engaging approach made learning to build a Chrome extension feel so accessible and doable. Before watching this, I thought it was a monumental task, but now I'm feeling confident and excited to dive in. Thanks for demystifying the process with such clarity and enthusiasm! 💻✨ #CodingMadeSimple

Awesome video, awesome content and information, salutations from Montreal!

Thank you for this tutorial. love your nail color btw💚

Thanks a lot for sharing this video, very useful 😊

This looks like a fun little project!

I didn't know the "!" trick, thanks!

the video which Chrome's fans were expecting!

That was beautiful and simple💪🚀

Thank you, this is what i always search for in a long time 😀

You are very good at this

THANK YOU!! You are awesome 😁

love you thanks for doing it easy

Such a great helpful video! please do more like this

This is so digestible, thank you

Great work !

Wow! So cool vid ❤👍 I'm impressed!

What software are you using at the start when creating html file? Is there also a free version for the chromebook or only windows and apple

Woah, very swell! Thanks for sharing :)

Love you and your code 😚

Thank you for your lovely video. How can i make chrome extension that can replace the welcome screen of chrome?

cool Tiffany! you should do more of this snippets often!!!

Amazing, thank you!

This was very helpfull thank you

L7 is coming to the town!! great vid thanks

Genial!! Excelente ejemplo de extensión para Chrome!... Thank you a lot!!!

You were just a random youtube recommendation and yet you have the exact same 2 screen setup than me with the standing desk converter and a laptop just laying there on the left of the desk lol

great video Tiff, :)

Is it odd that I understood everything you were doing, but I don’t know how to do it myself… Granted I’m new to coding.. I love this type of content though. Thanks!🍻

1:40 these kinds tips show value to study with video content - i've learn a lot of tricks or how to in Linux watching videos. I believe video's are like you are learning in-class

Amazing video! Thank you very much!

Soo cool 😎 awesome tutorial 🤠

There is her tutorial on the left side on this guy. She reads and teach us awesome !

Brilliant. I didn't realize Chrome extensions were built off JavaScript. Question: what is necessary in the manifest? Does Chrome look for specific keys? How minimal could the manifest ultimately be? Thanks for your work!
