Show IH: I packaged my “privacy-first MV3 extension starter” so you can ship faster

Every Chrome extension project starts the same way: MV3 structure, popup wiring, storage setup, permissions decisions, and a bunch of little choices that can either keep the project clean or make it messy fast.

After rebuilding the same foundation too many times, I turned it into a paid starter: MV3 Extension Kickstart Kit (Privacy-First).

What it’s for

You want to build an extension, not spend days on boilerplate

You care about being privacy-first (minimal permissions, local behavior, clear UX)

You want a structure that scales beyond a weekend hack

What I want feedback on

What templates would save you the most time next:

options page scaffold

onboarding flow

storage patterns

permission prompts done the right way

build/release checklist

Status

Published on Gumroad, 0 sales so far, but I’m building in public and iterating quickly.
