Review comment:
       Yeah I would imagine that code be added, I couldn't give to much of an 
estimate but I do think it would take long. I am try to throw it inside of this 
MR if desired. 
   
   But I have also added two new `scripts` to the `package.json` to automate 
the build process more. 
   
   These were:
   - `sbt` which runs `sbt universal:packageBin`
   - `build` which run everything to build everything needed for the extension 
by doing `yarn sbt && yarn install && yarn compile && yarn package`
