Install the extension

LotSync loads unpacked in your own Chrome. It runs in your session. Nothing to host, and no Facebook credentials ever leave your machine.

1. 1

   Extract it somewhere permanent

   Unzip the download to a folder you won't delete. Chrome loads the extension from that path every time it starts. Downloads folders get cleaned out; use something like Documents/LotSync.

2. 2

   Open chrome://extensions

   Paste chrome://extensions into the address bar. Bookmarks and menus work too, but the address bar is fastest.

3. 3

   Turn on Developer mode

   The toggle sits in the top right of the extensions page. The extension isn't on the Chrome Web Store, so it loads unpacked.

4. 4

   Load unpacked

   Click Load unpacked and select the folder you extracted. LotSync appears in the list immediately.

5. 5

   Pin it to the toolbar

   Click the puzzle piece icon and pin LotSync so the popup is one click away while you work.

6. 6

   Open the service worker console before your first run

   On the extensions page, click the extension's service worker link. Keeping that console open makes the first few posting runs easy to follow.
