Great idea for sure, but I think the GitHub link should be inside your Chrome Web Store page to reduce the fear of possible malicious intent (not accusing you/your extension or anything, just a suggestion).
I am one of the skeptics out here when it comes to extensions, there have been enough out there with malicious intent. How can I be assured this extension runs solely on the GitHub open-source code and doesn't have any little 'tricky' code lines inside?
Not a developer and never studied how GitHub or extensions really work, so I think this is the best opportunity to learn it. If you plan on creating a website for your extension, I'd add a very short F.A.Q. and have my question included for the skeptics.
Your concerns are valid. I have added the link to the source code (
https://github.com/CodinMaster/BTC2Fiat) in the chrome store and it would be live after the google team reviews it.
If you are really sceptic about it, you may open up the developer console for the extension to view what all scripts are running and whether it is malicious in any way or not.
Don't think I might be able to afford a website for this little project, but I can include the FAQ into Github docs as well as the Chrome Webstore's listing.
