Question

I have created a simple Chrome Extension, but it’s not easy for the users to contact me, beyond using the mailto function. I also don’t have access to a server with which I can send AJAX calls to. Worst case scenario, I’ll have the extension create a PasteBin, via its API of the error string and use mailto to email that to me, but that’s not quite secure or elegant.

Is there a way I can create some sort of ‘submit bug’ function, easily within jQuery or HTML? Something like Chrome.SendFeedback() or Chrome.SubmitErrorLog() which gets sent directly to me, somehow?

Answer 1

Probably the easiest and quickest way to get feedback from users is going to be to embed a google doc form in an iframe in a page. You can insert it where you would have built a custom form to submit to an API.
