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!

Woahhhh! I have seen so many discord conversations around 'how do I even start a chrome extension project' This is really neat, and second launch - I feel bad for missing the first one lol. Is this for beginners too? Or more advanced devs? Would also love to hear what has changed since last launch? Congrats on your launch, v cool

@esus Thank you! That's exactly why I ended up building it, I found myself creating a lot of boilerplates for different extension use cases and quickly found I wasn't the only one with that issue. This is definitely for all all skill levels! There are starter templates that are more basic (for example, popups) as well as some that are more advanced (for example, message passing). It also gives you the option to use vanilla JS if you don't have as much coding experience, or something like React or Vue if you do. Regarding changes since last launch, I've added a ton of additional starters (a lot were community driven / based on feedback and requests), added support for VueJS, created a Discord community for members, and more. I ended up creating a feedback board where I get a lot of great ideas from the community so I try and action those as quickly as possible. Happy to answer any other questions!

@esus additionally to answer the question "how do I even start a chrome extension project" I found many with this issue so launched a browser extension developers Discord server (~170 members growing daily) discord.gg/FDRBh9y3 Some awesome ideas and extensions have been shared there, come check us out!
