How does this compare to WXT[0]? I recently built a new tab extension[1] which uses quite a few permissions and browser APIs and building for Chrome and Firefox was a non-thought with how seamless compilation and distribution was.

It even separates the built extension code and the source and packages it nicely for firefox's review process.

Wow a bunch of generated text that tells me everything is covered. Also using the same style as FF, along with suffixing kt with fox.

I sure wonder where you got the inspiration from! (If there was any).
