Hi, DJ please do more on developing chrome extension in bubble. Love from India.

Awesome plugin, chrome ext builder... thanks.
Question: when opening the chrome extension, clicking the icon in browser (configured to open in right side ).
is there a way to close this by using a button I configure in bubble, rather than the pre set close icon in the top right? The close function in the Charles bubble plugin only closes it if its set to use popup.html file.
thanks

i want the a feature to replace the new chrome tab with a bubble app

[@user-vy1mr2qp2t]

Is it possible to run workflows such as "get tab url" every few seconds without opening the chrome extension or will that not work?

I need to give permission for a microphone and audio recording. do you have any advice on this?

Nice! Will you support ' in sidebar' (to communicate with bubble) instead of popup anytime soon? I noticed on the website it says: "⚠️ Please be aware that (for now) these iFrames won’t be able to communicate with your Bubble app as the standard extension popup (i.e. the plugin actions only work in the standard popup)."

Thanks. No this is not currently planned as demand for adding this feature has not been very high so far.

@@buildwithdamianHi Damian ! One thing I like with the sidebar nav is that if we interact with the page underneath the extension doesn't disappears. Is it possible to get that behaviour with default pop up ? Thanks Damian your plugin helped me a lot !

[@buildwithdamian]

Hi @@VictorGoutay . That should be straight forward to implement, however it's currently not on the roadmap as a 'general implementation' might be a bit of an issue in terms of complexity and security for most of the users. Probably best to get a freelancer proficient in extension dev. repurposing the existing code should take 2-3 hours IMO.

​@@buildwithdamian Great app. If it helps prioritize roadmap, we use Charles for our app and we would love to be able to use the sidebar nav to communicate with bubble app.
