Say goodbye to developers - create your Chrome extension with ChatGPT! (no coding experience needed)

Do you get overwhelmed by the thought of coding?

But what if I told you that there's a way to build a Chrome extension without knowing how to write a single line of code?

With chatGPT, not only can you do it, but you can also do it faster and more efficiently.

In this article, I want to show you how I managed to code a Chrome Extension from scratch WITHOUT coding experience.

Coding Without Coding

‍

At lempire, we're all about getting things done better and faster.

Our secret weapon? Prompts.

We’ve spent days crafting the best prompts for each specific use cases.

But more prompts mean more time spent on the drag of copying and pasting.

That's when I decided to create a Chrome Extension to simplify this process.

It would simply copy and paste prompts with a single click.

Simple as that 👇

‍

‍

You're probably looking at it now thinking - yes, it's not the most visually appealing thing. But guess what? It gets the job done!

Are you tempted to get one for yourself?

Let me walk you through how I made this happen:

‍

Step #1: Craft the ideal prompt

‍

Kick off your journey with ChatGPT by laying the groundwork with a well-thought-out, crystal-clear prompt like this one:

‍

‍

Thinking about creating your own Chrome Extension?

You can copy this prompt right here 👇

All you have to do is fill in your specific details about the extension you wish to build. Simple as that!

Step #2: Ask ChatGPT to break down the process

‍

At first, I'll be honest, it felt a bit overwhelming.

ChatGPT handed me the entire project code, asking me to create a bunch of different files, like json, js, and HTML…

‍

‍

This is where I realized I could ask ChatGPT for more detailed instructions to help me out.

And that's exactly what I did.

Remember, you can always ask for anything you need.

‍

Based on ChatGPT's answer, I could just use TextEdit on my Mac to write the code.

‍

‍

But, when I tried saving the code in the correct format using TextEdit, I hit a roadblock - an error message popped up. So, I did what worked best before 👉 I turned to ChatGPT for help.

‍

And just like before, ChatGPT came to the rescue!

‍

‍

I felt like an intern learning from his mentor for an hour. Eventually, I had the files ready to import my Chrome extension 👇

‍

‍

Guided by ChatGPT's directions, I headed to chrome://extensions/, switched on the "developer mode", and uploaded the 'Growth Elite Prompts' folder by hitting "load unpacked".

‍

‍

Was it finally time to see my extension up and running?

‍

‍

Well, not just yet 😅

‍

So, once more, I turned to ChatGPT for some help.

And, as always, ChatGPT had the answer.

‍

‍

I followed the instructions and added the Growth Elite logo as a png icon in my folder.

‍

‍

Then I repeated the previous step and click on “load unpacked,” and it worked 🎉

My very own Chrome Extension was ready to use 😍
