Create Browser Extension (“proof-of-concept”)

Job ID: 33006775

Budget: $10 – $750 USD

We need help in creating a browser extension that can launch command line apps and display their command line output. This requires the use of Native Messaging.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Native_messaging

The extension itself can be very basic, no fancy UI required. In your bid, please mention what programming language you plan to use to create the native app (that is used by the browser extension to start the EXE).

Please add good error handling. If there is a problem (e. g. EXE not found) then the extension should display the appropriate error message.

The solution needs to work cross-platform on Windows 10, macOS (Catalina+) and Linux (Ubuntu 18.04+) and include basic installation scripts (batch, shell etc) for testing.

This POC is the first part of a larger project. So if all goes well, there are several follow-up milestones.
