I'm looking to build a chrome extension that has functionality similar to that of grammarly, but with a different concept.

I want it to have the following basic functionalities:

  • Read the textbox input field while a user is typing
  • Grab the text written in the field
  • Query an API with the text to run some checks
  • Changing the state of the UI based on values returned from querying the API

Someone should help me with the technical know-how, please :) grammarly.gif

If you have the extension, just look at the source code on your local machine. Chrome extensions can be written in javascript so just check out the google docs, and add some event listeners + word analysis.
