HN Sidekick shows the Hacker News thread for the current tab in Chrome’s side panel. • Open any article URL that was submitted on HN — or an HN item page • See the story title, points, and top-level comments beside what you’re reading • No Tampermonkey / userscript setup How to use: 1. Click the HN Sidekick icon to open the side panel 2. Browse a normal web page (or an HN item) 3. The panel looks up the matching discussion via the public Algolia HN Search API Phase 1 shows the best-matching story and up to 5 top-level comments (plain text). Privacy: the extension reads the active tab URL only to query HN/Algolia. No accounts, no analytics SDK, no sale of data.
