Punk Software Hack Night: Build-an-extension

​Build your own browser extension and use it for yourself.

​

​We've seen AI vibecode webapps, desktop apps, and mobile apps - but tonight we'll come together to push the bounds on what's within the realm of possibility for browser extensions.

​

​Show us what you can dream up:

• ​Pick a target webapp that has limitations or lock-in built into its interface. What would it look like if that were cracked open?

• ​Pick a seemingly closed interface with lacking functionality. What can you add that helps you use it better?

• ​Collect your own browsing data and analyze it to find useful patterns

• ​Explore connectivity that breaks the browser sandbox: multiplayer or multiagent connectivity via desktop connections

• ​Completely change the browser experience

• ​Build developer tools to make developing and sharing browser extensions easier — review, evals, tests, meta-extensions

​

​Doors close at 6:45 (BUT we fixed the intercom this time so buzz and we'll let you up)

​

​SCHEDULE:

​6pm - 6:30pm — meet people, brainstorm ideas. There'll be 2 groups — one for folks seeking teams or ideas, and the other for folks to just get started building!

​6:30pm — kickoff. Some quick words.

​6:30 - 9:00pm — quiet time, work solo or in groups.

​9:00 - 9:30pm — demos. We'll open up first to projects built today, then to work built on top of preexisting projects. Submit your projects by pushing to github and adding the topic tag #punksoftware.

​9:30pm - 10pm — Try out other folks' projects and ask them questions about how they built it!
