Build your next Chrome Extension project faster than ever
Spend time working on your Chrome Extension, not setting up manifests and other boilerplate code. ExtensionKit is a collection of Chrome Extension starter templates, examples, and development scripts so you can focus on building. Built fully on Manifest V3.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm excited to launch the latest iteration of ExtensionKit, a large collection of Chrome Extension starter templates so you can skip the boilerplate and launch your next extension faster than ever. ExtensionKit also includes a variety of example extensions and guide templates to learn common and advanced development patterns from. The templates currently support React, Vue, and vanilla JS (with more frameworks such as Svelte on the way!).
ExtensionKit is continuously updated with new templates, examples, and guides based on feedback from over 500 devs using the kit. At the time of this launch, ExtensionKit now includes:
✅ 10 Basic starter templates (vanilla JS)
✅ 11 React starter templates + 11 React with Typescript templates
✅ 10 Vue starter templates
✅ 6 Example and Guide templates
✅ Utility scripts to help with extension development such as auto-refresh of extension
✅ Private Discord community for members to discuss all things extension-based
Please let me know what you think in the comments and feel free to browse the current collection of templates!
