EpubPress, turn web content into ebooks
> Would really love to get this working on my site
Whilst this isn’t my extension, the underlying generation of the EPUB is using my Nodepub library.
If you are using Node on your site, or are familiar enough with it to code a small wrapper around the library, then you should be able to create ebooks of your site user’s fiction pretty easily from your own codebase without needing an extension.
It’s at https://github.com/kcartlidge/nodepub and is also on NPM under the name Nodepub.
Note that it is EPUB 2, not 3. So you get modern ebooks including images and metadata, but the main omission is Javascript support embedded in the books; it isn’t something I want to encourage given the security issues endemic in tech.

Ask HN: Have you created programs for only your personal use?
A few that I've written to scratch my own itch or fill a need. Some of which I ended up sprucing up a bit and publishing publicly.
sitesync - Program that could sync files and folders on local file system and remote (FTP or SFTP). Mainly used to help maintain a web site that other people were also modifying. It allowed me to develop on my local copy and push changes without clobbering anything someone else had changed. (Unpublished)
erudite - [0] - Pull articles from Instapaper or Pocket and add to your ebook library (including Hacker News integration that includes URLs for corresponding posts!)
bday - [1] - The super simple birthday and anniversary reminder program. Wrote for myself but several family members also like it. Originally on Windows and then ported to Linux as well.
moviesschedule - [2] - Tracks Australian movie release dates and can even maintain a Google calendar of the movies you are interested in.
coffeegrinder - Java program to help fold automation of coffeescript compilation to javascript. Included optional GUI for viewing javascript version updates whenever the .coffee file was saved. (Unpublished)
bom - A little web-site and FTP scraper to retrieve local weather info from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. (Unpublished)
bgdicecalc - Little GUI program to easily figure out probabilities for various dice rolls in Backgammon. Want to convert this to a web-page some time. (Unpublished)
feedme - Web-site scraper to create RSS feeds of various comic strips (e.g. Dilbert) with the image directly in the feed. (Unpublished)
