CrowdWise Extension

CrowdWise adds to your browsing experience by showing you relevant discussions about your current web page on Hacker News and Reddit.

Features:
Discussions on Hacker News and Reddit
When you navigate to a web page, CrowdWise pulls relevant discussions about this web page from Hacker News and Reddit. You can click on these discussions and it will open in a new tab, where you can find counter-opinions and different perspectives.

Incognito Mode
By default, CrowdWise searches for relevant discussions in the background. For additional privacy, CrowdWise also includes an Incognito mode where it will only search for discussions when you click on the CrowdWise button.

Personalised Settings
Adjust the sidebar to suit the look and feel that you like. You can customise the following:
- Keyboard shortcuts to open and close the sidebar
- Font sizes
- Sidebar width
- and more

Open Source and Extensible
Our source code is available on GitHub on a MIT license, allowing you to easily extend CrowdWise the way you want and be part of our community!

Abigail Sy (ID: 00000030668ad28e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/21/2022 This is amazing! Found out quite a lot of interesting things without even having to leave the current page I'm on

Anoir Ben Tanfous (ID: 00000059162e6779) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/15/2022 This is one of the best idea ever, I like how it helps you find more stuff without having to look for them, to know what the www think about certain thing and maybe you go have a discussion there too... I see a lot of potential in this very new extension, I hope the dev will remain motivated to make it even better.
