I created my first Chrome extension! It makes it much easier to search Stack Overflow. All you do is type so into the omnibar, hit space, and then enter your search.
The barrier to entry for making a Chrome extension was far, far lower than I expected. For anyone interested, here are some great resources to get started:
- https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/getstarted
- http://lifehacker.com/5857721/how-to-build-a-chrome-extension
- https://www.lullabot.com/blog/article/creating-simple-chrome-extension
I used the third link as a starting point to make my own custom search.
