It'll be interesting to see if / when you get it into the Chrome Store - A lot of plugins say something like "can read and write data to blah blah blah" and if a plugin for Steemit says something similar, it'll be a big turn off.
Agreed. That's part of the reason that I slow-walked it so far. From what I read, I probably could have published it that second day, but I want to understand the process more first. I guess that making it open source mitigates part of the concern. Limiting it to steemit and not steemitwallet does, too, but browser permissions could still be (rightfully) concerning.
A browser extension is definitely not the best way to be solving the problem. My main goal was just to have it for personal use until (hopefully) a real developer does something better.
Thanks! It opens my eyes to what could be accomplished in short order by someone who knows what they're doing!

I don't think that will be happening so it's all on you 🙂
I'm afraid you're right, but I'm not giving up hope. ;-)
