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:

Browser:
Amazon domain:
Issue:
Steps to reproduce:
Screenshot/video:

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 ❤️

Hey everyone, looking for some advice or similar experiences.

I had taken an international travel insurance policy (ICICI Lombard TripSecure+) for a trip with my wife. We were both insured under the same policy and had a joint itinerary (flights + hotel).

Unfortunately, my grandmother passed away just before the trip, so we had to cancel everything.

Now here’s where it gets confusing:

  • The insurer accepted my claim (they considered my grandmother as my “immediate family member”)
  • But they rejected my wife’s claim, saying that my grandmother is not her immediate family member
  • So they basically paid only half the hotel cost and denied the rest including the flight cancellation as well

Their logic is that as per the policy, my grandmother is not the immediate family member of my wife.

My concern is:

  • This was a single event affecting the same trip
  • The cancellation wasn’t independent—obviously my wife wasn’t going to travel alone in that situation
  • The policy doesn’t clearly explain how this works for co-insured spouses

I’ve already tried pushing back, but they’re sticking to their interpretation.

So I wanted to know:

  • Has anyone faced something similar situation with travel insurance?
  • Any success in getting such decisions reversed?
  • Is this a common industry practice or something worth fighting?
  • What should be my next steps?

Would really appreciate any insights or experiences. Thanks!

Hi everyone. After reading so many posts and comments on this sub, I am very confused about which chair will be best for me.
My height is 5'6"

Weight is around 60KG

I work from home for at least 8-10 hours daily.

I have a neck and shoulder pain issue.

My budget is around 10-12k

I liked the below chairs but not sure if they will be suitable for my body type. I liked the Featherlite Amaze (I think this is the most liked chair here), the Neuarc Ventus, Greensoul Orion and a few others.

I would like to hear from someone of a similar body structure like mine, what chair you are using currently and what would you suggest I should buy?

PS: I live in a city that does not have any Featherlite, Sleep Company, Greensoul or any such branded store. And I dont want to buy a generic chair that the dealer here sells way too expensive.
