I’m not a real developer, but I somehow shipped my first Chrome extension today
TL;DR: I built my first Chrome extension while experimenting with AI-assisted vibe coding, and I’d genuinely love honest feedback from people here.
Hey everyone,
Today I finally published my very first Chrome extension.
It’s called ReturnRadar, and honestly, this project means a lot to me because I built it while learning everything step by step along the way.
I’m not a professional software engineer. I’m just someone who got curious, started experimenting, kept breaking things, fixing them, learning from Reddit, YouTube, documentation, AI tools, random forums… and somehow ended up shipping a real product on the Chrome Web Store.
The extension is meant to make Amazon return policies easier to notice and understand while shopping, because I personally got tired of missing important return details before placing orders.
Chrome Web Store:

This is still version 1.0, and I know it’s far from perfect.
Right now, what I genuinely need most is honest feedback from real people.
If you try it out and something breaks, looks weird, feels slow, or simply annoys you, please tell me. I’m actively improving it and learning as I go.
If possible, reporting issues in this format would help me fix things much faster:

I’d also genuinely love feature suggestions because I want this to slowly become a community-driven project instead of just another random extension.
Some things I’m already exploring:
- Better return policy visibility
- Return deadline reminders
- Cleaner UI
- Faster detection
- Seller risk indicators
Also, one honest thing I want to mention upfront:
Chrome currently shows the “not yet trusted by Enhanced Safe Browsing” warning for the extension. From what I’ve researched, this is common for newly published extensions that don’t yet have much reputation or many users.
The extension only accesses Amazon product page information required for return-policy detection and basic functionality. It does not run ads or sell user data. I’m also trying to keep permissions as minimal and transparent as possible.
So if some of you try it, test it, review it, criticize it, or even just give suggestions, it would genuinely help me more than you probably realize.
This is the first thing I’ve ever shipped publicly on the internet, and seeing even a few people use something I built feels kind of surreal.
Thanks for reading ❤️
