Google Chrome team has approved the extension for Widget-Board :)

We've gotten our review time down from about 3-4 days to < 1 day. Our strategy for this was 3 fold:

1. After your first submission, I'm pretty sure they just review the delta
2. Make sure we're dynamically requesting permissions (using chrome.permissions.request) instead of asking for them upfront
3. Our browser extension is open-source, and we link to the GitHub actions build that produced the extension: https://github.com/twschiller/open-synthesis

Congrats! Looks neat.

I have had almost nothing but bad luck with Chrome extension submissions.

For your homepage: I believe there's a way to define a placeholder image for the video element above the fold, it kind of looks bad on macOS / Chrome as a big empty white box before interacting with the video element.

You probably don't see it anymore because the video is cached and loads fast for you, but even with a fast connection I didn't see the autoplaying preview until the 5th visit or so.
