I have created a Chrome app, but I found that uploading it to Chrome Web Store is problematic, as they declare it is only compatible with Chrome OS.
There is a tutorial by Google how to move to web applications, but I find it unusable.
I would like to publish it as an extension, so the sensible move I think is using a Chrome extension, not a Chrome app. Still, I am not sure what what's the best next step.
Thanks

I have created a browser, which relies on an extension to work properly. I have not yet published the extension to the store and would prefer to avoid doing so. Is there a way for me to automatically install or pre-install an extension, to allow for easy distribution along with the actual browser?
Was wondering if I had a web-application on www.mydomain.com/userportal etc but didn't want this accessable via the browser, but as a chrome application similar to how Google's Hangouts is a seperate window / popup - How easy is it to implement an already built application into one of these windows?
If I understand you correctly, you would like to display your www site as a Chrome App. Chrome apps are all HTML/CSS/JS files hosted on the computer but they can display a webview into a site online. However, Chrome Apps must be 'offline' first. So you must ask for permissions to all online activity.
Ideally you would make separate app hosted as a Chrome App (not link/embedded to a www site) that uses an API to talk to a web-app.
Keep in mind that Google is phasing out Chrome Apps for all platforms except Chrome OS in the near future.
Since chrome apps will retire this year, is there any good replacement for it? I have a webclient which runs locally inside a chrome app with support of a cardreader for login to the webserver. Since all the hardware related things are managed inside the chrome app manifest and within the chrome api it is difficult to find a good replacement for this, any idea?
I understand that the chrome.bookmarks API (documented at http://goo.gl/tIb6V6) is meant to be used to develop Chrome Extensions (to be used, of course, within the Chrome browser) that access/manipulate my Chrome Bookmarks. I have even used that API to write my own such extension. However, I am looking for a way to develop an app that does the same thing, but is runnable independently from the Chrome Browser, e.g. as a native app, written in one's favorite language (Python, Java, etc.), that would run on one's favorite OS (Mac OS X, Linux, etc.). To that end, is there an API (e.g. a RESTful API, but I'm not picky) that enables me to access/manipulate my Chrome Bookmarks, which I would then access from outside of the Chrome Browser?
Another option is to load the Chrome Bookmarks file directly from:
~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Bookmarks
It's a plain json file, so just load it, construct an Object and do whatever you can imagine.
We are pretty like it so far~
I found a chrome app for photography effects which works offline perfectly. But it is having limited features. I have some ideas to add for my use. But I'll require to develop complete app. That'll take more time.
Is there any way so I can modify the app for my personal use?
Well!! I got to know that all chrome extensions/apps are made in HTML & JS. So I can easily decode them by using some chrome crx file downloader or directly from its extension folder.
