My first Chrome extension is approved and live in the app store! It’s a simple Feedly article highlighter, creatively titled “Feedly Article Highlighter created for your Chrome desktop browser.
I made this because I read a lot. This is back of napkin, but I’m estimating ~200 blogs and media feeds are plugged into my RSS as well as hundreds of friends, colleagues, and creative people across social media. That’s a large firehose to drink from on a daily basis.
This extension is less than 6kb and does one thing: Highlights what you want and filters out what you don’t across thousands of ingested RSS items a day.
I was using a similar app from an indie developer who created an extension to make his RSS feed easier to read, but he abandoned his project a few years ago and it no longer works with the security changes introduced in Manifest V3.
Rather than fork the project on Github, I started from zero and stripped out the features I never use.
I think I’m going to expand functionality, but for now add it from the Chrome store or download the unpackaged version on Github and install in Chrome.
Enjoy!
