After shipping two browser extensions this year — Reverse Image Search Anywhere and Stackpeek — I still could not answer the simplest question about a listing: is it working?
Both stores tell you how many people installed the thing. Neither tells you the number that decides whether anyone installs it at all: where you appear when someone searches the words they would actually type. The Chrome Web Store developer dashboard has no notion of search position. Firefox's is no better. So the honest answer to "did last week's title change help?" was to open an incognito window, type the keyword, and count down the results with my finger. In three languages.
So I built ExtensionDash. It scrapes both stores nightly and records installs, ratings, category rank, keyword positions, competitors and listing copy — and keeps the history.
The decision that mattered
Not the scraper. It was making the agent a first-class reader rather than an export button.
