I was one of the earliest Plasmo users and it has made building Chrome Extensions an absolute delight (vs. previously an absolute headache).
I helped built a big extension at Clay.com and really wish we had Plasmo then. Since, I've built several extensions with Plasmo and it's been an absolute breeze.
I like the product so much I became active in the Discord with Stefan & Lous, and have many times said thank you for the exceptional work they've done! It's awesome to see how they build, and follow along with their process - they film video updates which are great :)
I'm really excited for where they will take Plasmo - so much to be done in extending the functionality of browsers!
I just worked on a browser extension not built in plasmo… and honestly plasmo makes it so easy, I almost didn’t want to work on an extension outside of plasmo anymore.
The plasmo framework itself is truly incredible a work of art and has helped me so much in my life, can't wait to see where it goes!! I love the vibe and energy in the community and it's just awesome how far it has already taken chrome extensions but also how much excitement there is to take it even further. I have been wondering about a future where plasmo turns the background.ts script of it's extensions into a fully fledged server that sends react ssg components to the frontend.
We recently wrote a browser extension[1] without any prior experience, and Plasmo made it a breeze. Right from the start, we could focus on what we wanted to build, and not worry about the messy details involved in building a cross-browser extension. It just felt like writing a normal React app. Their documentation is also amazing.
Can't recommend them enough. If you want to build a browser extension yourself, absolutely give Plasmo a try!

I've been following this for a while and am so excited to see it on product hunt. I'm a big expo fan, and this is like the expo for browser extensions.
I used Plasmo to make my first ever chrome extension. It made it a breeze to do despite me not having any prior experience developing chrome extensions. I wrote more about it here -> https://words.byvernacchia.com/b...
In addition to Plasmo itself and the nice docs, they provide great support on Discord!
I have to say that Plasmo has been a game-changer for me! As someone who is not an expert in building browser extensions, I was struggling to create my very first own extension. But with Plasmo, I found the perfect abstraction layer that let me start building with ease so I could focus on what matters most, the product.
Using the Plasmo framework, I created Synclify, a free open-source extension that allows two people to sync their video playback by sharing a room code. This was a project that I had wanted to work on for a while, but I didn't know how to get started. Plasmo made it easy for me to get started and bring my idea to life.
Overall, I highly recommend Plasmo to anyone who wants to create their own browser extensions but doesn't know where to start. The framework is user-friendly, and the support from the Plasmo team on Discord is fantastic. If you want to create a browser extension, try Plasmo – you won't be disappointed!
I've been using Plasmo for months now, and it's been great!
It enhances the development experience so much that I can't imagine making an extension without it again.
The Plasmo team is always working on the latest updates and helping out the community.
It's truly a great product!
