A small Chrome extension for self-hosted Plane: work-item templates + wider names

[gaerae]

I run Plane self-hosted, and I kept doing the same two things by hand. So I wrote a small Chrome extension for them.

It's client-side only. It doesn't touch the Plane server or your data.

It adds a "Template" button next to Attach in the description toolbar, and in the create-work-item modal. Pick a template and it fills the title plus a Markdown body — headings, lists, checkboxes. I use it mostly for bug reports and weekly reports.

Templates can also include a few variables, filled in when you insert:

{{date}}    {{date+7}}    {{week}}    {{month}}

The other half is truncated names.
Module, cycle, label, and breadcrumb names get cut off by a fixed max-width in the UI. You point at one with a small element picker and add a width rule, without opening DevTools.

One caveat up front: I built and tested this on self-hosted OSS Plane only. I don't use the cloud version, so I can't speak to it. The paid tiers may already do some of this, and the UI there may differ.

A few things plainly:

• No accounts, tracking, analytics, servers, or remote code.
• It ships with no host access. It only runs on a domain after you enable it, with a per-site permission prompt.
• MIT-licensed.
