The author has completed a side project named Quotenator, a cutesy chrome extension that turns a new tab into a quote.
Learnings from the project include API development using FastAPI, using Github Actions, and overall extension development.
The author used FastAPI for the API, found it easy to use, and plans to use it for future projects.
GitHub Actions were used to keep the API warm, but the author is still looking for a more long-term solution. The extension was successfully uploaded to the Chrome Webstore.
