Chrome Extension for Cricket lovers
Alright, it's time to introduce you to my latest side project endeavor! With the Asia Cup 2023 recently concluded, the anticipation for the upcoming Cricket World Cup 2023 is soaring high. But here's the challenge: How do you stay updated on match scores while you're at work or school? We all know and love platforms like Espncricinfo and Cricbuzz for their comprehensive cricket coverage, including resources, stats, and news. However, sometimes you just want a quick glance at the scores without leaving your main browser window. The last thing you want is to reach for your phone, disrupting your workflow.
As is customary for any curious developer, I embarked on a quest to find a ready-made solution. Perhaps a Chrome extension or plugin that offers a seamless way to check scores and news with a glance. To my surprise, the options available were limited, and most of them suffered from poor user interface design, resulting in a cluttered and unsatisfactory user experience. But, being a developer, I live by the mantra: when faced with an unsolved problem (or poorly solved one, for that matter), the solution is simple—I'll code my way out of it!

That's all about the features! What technologies I used?
- React: React served as our frontend framework, providing the foundation for building dynamic user interfaces. Its component-based architecture made it easy to create modular and reusable elements, a crucial aspect when dealing with a diverse range of cricket data.
- Webpack: Webpack played a pivotal role in bundling our code and assets efficiently. With multiple APIs and various assets to manage, Webpack's powerful configuration capabilities helped optimize our extension's performance.
