Hello.

I am Paul Kinlan.

I love the web. The web should allow anyone to access any experience that they need without the need for native install or content walled garden.

Badgemator .... it is all in the how you tell people about your app

Paul Kinlan

Badgemator is a web app that simplifies the process of creating badges for your Chrome Web Store listing. It generates a single script tag that you can embed on your website. This tag displays a badge to Chrome users who haven't installed your app, encouraging them to visit your store listing. Badgemator automatically fetches your logo and other details, and you can customize the badge's appearance with CSS. The project is open source, and contributions are welcome!
