beat Extension

beat is a new tab replacement for Chrome that shows the latest stories from your frequent news sources at a glance, plus a quick check of the weather.

Display stories from various news sources:
- Hacker News
- View the top stories on Hacker News, with the ability to choose between different streams like the Top stories, or turn on the firehose with all new stories
- Designer News
- View a stream of the front page of the Designer News community
- Subreddits
- Keep track of any subreddit, with the ability to create a custom theme and choose from different streams like Top or Rising

Not seeing a news source you'd like? Create a Github issue on the link below and let me know!

Weather is displayed using OpenWeather, and can be configured for a specific city or automatically based on your location.

If you're so inclined, feel free to fork and customize this project on Github and make it your own. Building the project yourself is even free by providing your own service API keys!

See here for more details on building the project yourself: https://github.com/tylerFowler/beat
