Dashboard for extensions
I recently thought about extensions but it is a two-process. first we need to build an extension and if we want to monetize it we need to build the whole backend like the dashboard, licensing thing, and anything related to security and monetization.
So are you guys interested in the dashboard as a service? where you have everything set up for you and you just focused on your extension and its experience.
Please give your feedback if you think it's a problem or not.

Hey @Itsanishjain, theres a few efforts in this space already, extensionpay is even linked on our sidebar. It never hurts to have more competition tho.
I think the biggest pain I've had lately was to have accurate metrics across all of the browsers I support. While I stood up a service to handle my own stuff, I think there is a microsaas in this as well. Happy to chat in details if you want to partner up on something like that.
I had the same issue so I moved to Mixpanel. But still, I think there's a lot of room for improvement here.
There definitely needs more browser extension based tooling.
Yes, agree and a lot of things that can be done in the cross-browser space too, to include analytics, streamlining deployment, generating marketplace assets, etc. Part of the challenge for some of these is the marketplace itself, because some (all) have their own hurdles.
