I have a ton of Gmail contacts and all of the contact data, especially phone numbers, is inconsistently formatted. I wasn’t able to find a Chrome extension that provided the ability to consistently format Gmail contacts, so I decided to write my own. This will also give me some good web development experience.
I’ve updated the “My Work” menu to show my latest project, Gmail Contact Formatter. This is a Google Chrome extension that will consistently format your Gmail contacts’ data, such as phone numbers. At the time of this writing, I have not been working on this extension long and isn’t functional yet. However, there is code to be shown that demonstrates my web development capabilities as they apply to Chrome extensions.
My first goal is to get something basic, with very little interface, that will format phone numbers for contacts. I’ll grow it into something more aesthetically pleasing with more advanced functionality as I go. I’ll post more updates as progress further into the project.
