I worked on getting the website up and working. Didn't get too far in it, but got the nav bar working and an initial main page. I still need to do a login, signup and download page.
I looked at some different ways to deploy the website. I want to get a prototype up, so I hopefully can get some feedback on the design.
I was thinking about the extension itself. If Google and Mozilla don't accept it, it is somewhat difficult to install, involving multiple steps, and going into developer mode. And on windows using chrome, it will nag the user everytime they startup to disable any sideloaded extensions.
However, if I make a version of the extension to work using Tampermonkey, that would sidestep all of that. Tampermonkey is an extension that can run arbritrary scripts to alter web pages. So the user would just have to install tampermonkey, and then install a Captain Dirgo script rather than an extension which should be a lot easier.
