Apologies for the lack of progress on the Chrome extension. We had a number of hurdles trying to remove the dependency on the Heroku instance. We plan to release an update very soon to remove the Heroku instance and that we free us up to donate the Chrome extension to the Apache project. However, does the community still see value in that given the current direction?
