This is a really good idea, so I started to implement it

I do have thoughts...
This was built initially as a sort of "singular" use. As in, I was only thinking about one direct embedding without having to tie anything in the extension to what Retool will host in the sidebar.
If we do have saved params like the screenshot, I foresee the issue of wanting to embed a different app, but then the params would need to be updated for the other app.

I don't want to clobber, and have people update those often, so I think I would need the "save" mechanism to be updated to store an array of urls with params. It currently only saves a single object defining the embed url.

Hi everyone,

I appreciate all the positivity and people giving the extension a try. It was a fun side quest for me, but now I have no more time to work on it. Lakitu has brought me back to the race-track.

So this is a call to anyone who would like me to transfer the repo to them.

My hope is that someone else with more free time can finish what I started.

In the devel branch of the repo, I had started different a interface for adding multiple apps with saved query parameters

I am ADHD, so getting an idea 80% done and changing gears to another thing... is kinda my thing :laughing:
