What features do users want?

How can we identify market opportunities?

These questions led me to create WebExtension.net, a free research tool designed to help developers make data-driven decisions.

The Challenge

Building a Chrome extension is relatively straightforward, but creating one that resonates with users requires understanding the market. The Chrome Web Store holds valuable information, but manually analyzing thousands of extensions is time-consuming and inefficient.
