Building an Open Source Chrome Extension for Shopify: Padloom Visualizer

Source: Dev.to

Introduction

Hello devs! 👋

I just released an open‑source Chrome extension to help gamers visualize custom mouse pads directly in their browser.
We built this tool to solve a common e‑commerce problem: “How will this image look on a real product before I buy it?”

Repository

You can inspect the code structure here:

Live Demo

🎮 See it in action (live demo). The extension is optimized for high‑detail collections and can be tested on the following pages:

• Custom Uploads: Test on Custom Mouse Pad Page
• Anime Designs: Test on Anime Collection
• Pro Gaming: Test on Gaming Surfaces

Closing

I built this using standard web technologies to ensure performance on Shopify. I’d love to hear your feedback on the implementation!

Happy coding! 🚀
