This devlog is going to document my attempts to make an existing React + Node.js application (Eisenhour) into a browser extension. Ideally I want to put it in the same repo and for it to still be possible to use it the way it currently is (by running a server and client yourself).

It should be mentioned I am not 100% sure it’s possible, this might just end in failure. I am not going to host a server online, so for this to work, the server-side has to be possible to do in the extension somehow.

I’ll start by making a new branch for it
