Inspiration

I happen to remember when one of my friends was copy-pasting some text to post on his Facebook wall going back and forth. So I thought why not make this tedious task a little simpler with the help of an extension.

What it does

This extension lets you highlight any text on the page or select any image and with just a single click directly share it on your Facebook wall.

How we built it

I built it using vanilla Javascript and chrome extensions APIs. I went through the developer documentation to learn about things I needed to accomplish the task. I already had some knowledge on building chrome extensions so, it was comparatively simpler for me to build this.

Challenges we ran into

Even though having previous knowledge about extension development I did keep running into small errors and that sometimes took a long time for me to resolve.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I'm proud that I was finally after hours able to complete the task I took upon myself.

What we learned

After hours of building and debugging and going through the documentation now, I have a much more clearer picture of what more I can do to create more such projects. definitely was a steep learning curve for me.

What's next for Chrome-Extension-ShareOnFacebook

Maybe I install the feature of sharing the quote/image to not just Facebook but any other social networking site of your choice as well.
