Soooo!
Recently I had a client for whom I had to make a landing page (will talk about this in another blog).
Something that I always h...

Very nice extension - I'll surely use this to preview website fonts going forward!
A few nice-to-have features I thought of while testing it:
But already very useful as it is, good job.
(Oh, just found your dev roadmap further down the thread and saw these features are already on there.)
Thank you for kind words :)
Ya, most of the requested features are already on the roadmap, stepping through fonts via arrow keys has been one of the most requested features. Lol, will definitely include it in the next release.
Oh, this is a nice extension! Could it work with other sources?
Other sources as in? Like other websites? if so yes, it works with most of the website, except Chrome's extension store page, which perhaps for security reason, doesn't allow any extension to run on their page
I meant other font sources, not Google!
Hmm, yes, its not yet implemented yet, but I am planning to add an upload button so, you'll be able preview downloaded fonts from the system, you can visit the roadmap to see upcoming features.
Plus, if enough people are interested, I'll add fonts from other sources including free Adobe fonts
You are right, there is little to no documentation about using react for building chrome extensions. I wish it would be easier to debug it too.
Great article btw
Here is one i have created for developers chromewebstore.google.com/detail/p...
Nice! I really loved the color choices for your extensions preview.
Thanks mate 🍻
Here is one I built: chromewebstore.google.com/detail/g...
Wow! never knew we could add custom tools to the developer's tools. Nice work.
Thanks for sharing your experience and learnings along the way 😀
you're welcome :)
Está simplemente GENIAL!!!
Cómo te escribí en la store, hacía falta algo así para quienes desarrollamos.
Gracias Paul por poner manos a la obra.
Bendiciones
¡Muchas gracias! Me alegra mucho que te guste la herramienta. Tu apoyo significa mucho para mí :)

Can you speek a little bit more why the styles weren't being applied to the extension?
There are two reasons, So, when you want to style a widget inside the ShadowDom, you need to add the styles insde the shadowDOM. Second reason was because of webpack configuration, it wasn't bundling styles properly.
Great thank for sharing
Excellent article!
Thank you for the tips you shared with us!
You're welcome :)
Really great idea but the extension does not work :/
Hi, I just reinstalled, to check, it seems to be working. Can you tell me for which site its not working? It won't work on the chrome extension store page, chrome disables for its page by default.
Thanks
All good! I checked it again, and it works! Great tool. Thanks for developing it :)
Oh! glad to know it works. Thank you for the feedback :)
Hii!, thanks for letting me know, Can you tell me which browser you are using? also did you download it directly from extension store?
Why indeed. The process of building for other browsers is damn near identical. You could do all at once
Yes, I planned was to start with a just a prototype for Chrome, if people liked it, I planned to add it to other marketplaces as well. In this case I only had to test to see if it worked on Chrome. In case of Edge and chromium based browsers, i won't have to make changes, however for Firefox I'd have to make couple of changes.
I've never had any issues with Firefox - other than tiny manifest tweaks, which are automatable
Hmm, I am using
chrome.scriptingandchrome.runtime. However, Its should be portable with small changes, Plus since this is my first extension, I just wanted to quickly prototype and see what was possible.Cool!
