Show HN: A Chrome Extension I built with ChatGPT in an hour

1 pointsby hbroadbentabout 1 year ago
Hey HN, just wanted to show of something I built with ChatGPT over the weekend.<p>I&#x27;d never built a Chrome extension before, but ChatGPT was able to help me:<p>- write the entire manifest.json file<p>- write 90% of the javascript, including hooking into the chrome apis<p>- navigate around Chrome extensions blocking CDNs by just downloading the entire script I was trying to load (TailwindCSS in this case)<p>- correctly tweak the behaviour of the extension as prompted<p>This is the first time I&#x27;ve ever built a Chrome extension and I was surprised at how helpful GPT4 was. I use GPT4 a lot day-to-day at work, but it felt a lot more effective working on this tiny extension. but I guess the small scope of the Chrome extension let it keep almost all of it within its context and it basically nailed everything I asked.<p>The Chrome extension itself lets you create sharable Amazon cart links, and GPT4 was able to grok the API easily.
