Dev Log #2 — Duck Click Quacker is finished 🦆✅

Today I finished the extension. It now plays a random duck sound on normal mouse clicks across any webpage, with a faster random interval so it triggers more often. I added a popup menu with an enable/disable toggle, and set up a proper extension logo (generated the required 16/32/48/128 icons using ImageMagick).

I also added a visual gag: when a quack plays, a little duck pops up near the click and fades out.

Problems solved along the way:

Fixed audio file paths + web_accessible_resources so the sounds load reliably from the /sounds folder (quack.mp3, quackk.mp3).

Fixed the quack probability/cooldown logic so it matches the configured chance and doesn’t spam.

Got the icon pipeline working properly instead of manually resizing everything.

Next idea (maybe): add sliders for volume/frequency and a per-site blacklist.

I have started by creating the structure of the extension and getting the audio needed for the sound effects. I am starting on the manifest and then working on the background.

I’m working on my first project! This is so exciting. I can’t wait to share more updates as I build.
