Forum Explorer provides a principled rethinking of the way in which we interact with async threaded conversations on the internet through the use of visualization. This chrome extension radically alters your experience of HackerNews. Rather than viewing threaded conversations as linearized trees, we visualize them as dynamic and interactive trees! This top down view gives a whole new perspective on forum based conversations.
Once you've installed the extension simply point your browser to your favorite hacker news thread (or really any thread) and the extension will get to work reorganizing the page. If you are not sure you want this to be the way that you interact with HackerNews you can try a demo on this webpage https://www.mcnutt.in/forum-explorer
No personal data is collected. We use IndexedDB for client side caching and make use of a cloud micro-service for our topic modeling, but no information is persisted at that location.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
