Show HN: Bedframe – open-source Browser Extension Development framework
Ooof!! It is an... interesting time right now in extensions land. The switch from MV2 to MV3 is a bit chaotic but hopefully tools like this (Bedframe) and tools like [Plasmo](https://github.com/PlasmoHQ/plasmo) start to inject some freshness in the space.

Shameless plug, but we built the Plasmo Framework to make that (and a lot more) super easy: https://github.com/plasmohq/plasmo

Show HN: Plasmo – a framework for building modern Chrome extensions
Thanks! We wrote a custom Parcel runtime [1] inspired by Parcel's HMR runtime (which was too bloated and buggy for us) that injects a web socket listener into the development build of the extension.
Whenever a bundle change happens, Parcel sends it the refresh message and it either does `chrome.runtime.reload()` or `location.reload()` depending on the context.

Svelte / Sveltekit also works great and is a bit more lightweight / performant while being easier / faster to develop with.
I have an implementation on GitHub for my personal hybrid bookmark-manager / hackernews-reader newtab extension[0]. Its still a wip but i use the website version[1] daily as it doesn’t need to be installed and can still be set as my newtab page (warning as I’ve never opened it on mobile).

Sveltekit! I used sveltekit-adapter-browser-extension[0] by Antony which conveniently handles the hashing stuff. I just made the repo public in case you want to check it out[1]. Let me know if you run into any issues!
