## Description

Hydrocarbon Nomenclature is a Chrome extension designed to simplify the naming of hydrocarbon molecules. Users can draw a sketch of any hydrocarbon molecule, and the app will generate the correct IUPAC name following internationally recognized naming conventions.

Currently in its test version, the extension invites user feedback to improve accuracy and usability. Upcoming features include support for cyclohydrocarbons and a reverse functionality allowing users to enter a molecule name and receive its structure. This tool is ideal for students, educators, and professionals in chemistry seeking a quick and reliable naming assistant.
