Hi again! Welcome to this lesson about generating a Chrome extension from scratch. In this lesson, we will use ChatGPT and Delta GPT to create a simple Chrome extension script for an app called Halal. The purpose of this extension is to read the content on a web page and change the word ‘meat’ to ‘Halal meat’. This way, whenever we view any recipe on the internet, the word ‘meat’ will be replaced by ‘Halal meat’. Halal meat refers to meat that is prepared in accordance with Islamic dietary laws.
Let’s start by creating a new directory for the extension and opening it in a text editor. Create a new folder called ‘Halal Meat’ in your documents folder. Then, create a new file called ‘manifest.json’ in the ‘Halal Meat’ directory. The manifest.json file contains the configuration information for the extension.
Next, create a new file called ‘replace.js’ in the same directory. This file will contain the JavaScript code that will replace the word ‘meat’ with ‘Halal meat’. Save the file.
Now, open Google Chrome and navigate to ‘Chrome extensions’. Enable the developer mode and load the ‘Halal Meat Replacer’ extension from the directory. Now, when you search for recipes with the word ‘meat’, you will see that it is replaced with ‘Halal meat’.
To monetize this extension, you have a few options. One option is to sell it on the Google Store. However, since this extension is a simple demonstration, it may not have much commercial value. Another option is to offer a free version of the extension and a paid version that provides additional features, such as the ability to buy Halal meat.
Alternatively, you can give the extension away for free and create a basic landing page where users can enter their email address to receive the extension. Once you have a list of email addresses, you can send promotional emails to sell Halal products or earn commissions from affiliate products.
In conclusion, generating a Chrome extension from scratch is a straightforward process with the help of ChatGPT. This lesson has shown you how to create a basic extension that replaces the word ‘meat’ with ‘Halal meat’. It has also provided some ideas for monetizing the extension. Thank you for your attention, and see you in the next lesson!
