Want to see how I find Chrome extension gold on Twitter?

Honey here…

I’m thinking of showing exactly how I research and spot Chrome extension ideas before the crowd, using Twitter/X like a sniper.

It’s how I find 2 free + 2 paid ideas each week.

But I skip ideas too… sometimes because I don’t fully get the problem.

You might see what I don’t.

Or maybe you just want to learn the process.

Quick pulse check:

DM me with 1, 2, or 3:

1. I’m in, show me how you do this

2. Curious, but need more info

3. Nah, I’m good

Who can build this for Chrome extension store?

[Matteo Spada @matteo_spada]

🚨🚨🚨

We have released a database with the most searched keywords on the App Store, free for everyone!

Just yesterday, we sent a message to all @TryAstroApp users informing them that we had completed the integration of a database with one million keywords into our backend. This database allows us to access increasingly reliable data on popularity

Today, we want to take a further step forward by making this database with 1 million keywords with a popularity value > 5 publicly available to everyone on our website!

In this video, @alice_ercolani explains how to use this tool to discover new keywords to track in Astro!

Link to the tool in the next post!

Love this.

$190 from a distraction-free writing tool that improves tone + vocab, and ships with BYOK.

Clean idea. Clean pitch. Clean Stripe.

Chrome extensions like this don’t just make money…

They compound it with every tab opened.

Monetizing a Chrome extension?

Don’t ask: “How can I make money?”
Ask: “Does this solve a problem people will pay to remove?”

If yes → Subscription.
If not → maybe ads… but don’t expect magic.

10K users with ads?
$30/month.

100 paying users at $5/month?
$500/month.

Big difference.

Want your Chrome extension to rank higher?

Here’s what 99% of devs miss:
🔹 Chrome Store is a search engine
🔹 Most users type problems, not product names

That means:
Name it like the pain it solves
Describe it like someone searching at 2AM
Forget “cool”, go for clear

Clarity = traffic
Traffic = installs
Installs = reviews
Reviews = ranking

@detectiveomee @pbteja1998 @DataFast_ How?

[Chrome Extension Ideas @ExtensionIdeas]

You launched a web app.
It’s helpful. It works.
But… nobody’s finding it.

So here’s the move:
Package your core feature as a Chrome extension.

Rank for a keyword
Get installs without paid traffic
Link back to your app

Now your tool lives inside the browser, not just on a landing page.

[Chrome Extension Ideas @ExtensionIdeas]

@nizzyabi Don't build ideas.

Chrome Extension vs App Store App:

You built it. You launch it.

Now ask:

Can users even find it without ads?
On the Chrome Web Store, yes
On the App Store, nope

App Store needs:

Screenshots
ASO hacks
Reviews
Ratings
Luck

Chrome Store needs:

One problem worth solving
One searchable title
One install button

Simpler = smarter for solo builders.

[Chrome Extension Ideas @ExtensionIdeas]

Should a startup build a Chrome extension?

Ask this:
Do your users live in the browser?
Can you solve a pain with 1-click access?
Do you want free traffic from keyword search?

If yes → Chrome extension is not only good, it’s your fastest path to adoption without ads.

@duckle_head Don't look for an idea.

Look for a problem to solve.

Stripe isn’t available in India.

So does that mean you can’t monetize your Chrome extension?

Nope.

Use:
-Razorpay for local users
-Lemon Squeezy to sell globally

Most devs overthink monetization.

All you need is a link + a webhook + a reason to pay.

@EricStrohmaier Try ranking for the real dumb stuff folks type when they’re stuck:

“ChatGPT prompt help”
“how to write better AI prompts”
“prompt generator for ChatGPT”
“make ChatGPT give better answers”

Nobody googles “prompt optimizer” unless they built one.
