Any plans to publish to Chrome Web Store?

I found this extension through the listing on Product Hunt, and I think it looks really great! I've been looking for something like this, and I'm really excited to try it out. Additionally, thank you for building this and distributing it for free.

The only reason I'm not already up and running with this extension is because the only installation option is the manual one. Unless I missed it, I don't see the extension listed anywhere in the Chrome Web Store.

In general, when an extension isn't listed in the store, I feel the need to use more caution, and potentially even read through the source code before installing an extension. I feel safer directly installing an extension from the web store. I don't want to pretend as though every potential user does the same thing as me, but I believe there are probably a few others out there who would also feel safer with a web store listing.

Do you have any plans to list the extension through the Chrome web store? If you want to list it, but are somehow having difficulties doing so, maybe I can help you somehow?

I'd love to start using this extension, but given that I'm not a very good programmer to begin with, I'd feel much safer installing it from the web store than reading through the source code and installing it directly. I'm happy to help you get it listed in any way that I can.

Hi @gtallen1187

First of all thank for trying it out.

Yes, I'd like to have it in Chrome web store but I'm actually reluctant to open a developer account on the same due to fees it required. So, that is the only reason it's not there. Apart from this, I'm really open to have it listed there.

Regards!
