I'm working on SPHNX, a voice-based AI coding interviewer. While problem solving is crucial for passing interviews, in a live interview you are also getting tested for your communi…

I work at Coda and would love to hear more about your experience. We are focused on our tables and formulas and I am surprised to hear that you had such a bad time with them. Feel …

The main thing is that the extension would still have to be able to run its JS on any page to be able to show the interactive sidebar. Not sure there is a way around that, unless c…

Yeah, I will write it down on the website. As I mentioned below ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28700703 ), I do not store the URLs that you go to (though of course you have…

To use it as a button, you can try the bookmarklet: https://ampie.app/url-context Would love to hear about your experience if you do use it!

You can use it as a bookmarklet instead if you go to https://ampie.app/url-context !

Thanks! My intent definitely was to make it a little bit chaotic =) I will try to figure out how to make it a bit easier to follow, heard some advice to space it out a bit possibly…

Actually, ampie also has a bookmarklet that you can add at https://ampie.app/url-context ! But as I said elsewhere, in my experience I rarely use it myself since that requires a bi…

You need to sign up to prevent the api abuse. Thanks for the feedback, disabling twitter is in the plans! Which dark mode extensions are you using?

Ampie is written in clojurescript as well! https://github.com/posobin/ampie I have actually seen your extension when I was trying to figure out how to get started with making one i…

What kind of controls/customizations would you like?

Yeah after reading all the comments like this I thought maybe I should just take the top 1000 most popular websites and not show it by default on them.

For ampie you can just get its source, modify the manifest file, and build it yourself, no need to bother with repackaging: https://github.com/posobin/ampie You can see the actual …

As I said in email, you only see the sidebar two times per domain (unless there are mentions of the particular URL you are on, then two times on that URL). You can also disable amp…

Yes, I will add that, great point!

It pops up the first two times you go to a domain or a URL that has mentions, so it should stop bothering you after a little bit of usage. I do hear you though, several people brou…

Sorry, what do you mean by "those"? Add comment threads to ampie, or integrate comments from other services into ampie?

Actually Ampie used to work differently: Ampie would store the local cache of links from your twitter feed and links submitted to HN, and check against it when you went to any web …

Thank you for the kind words! Yeah, I haven't thought about a no-sign-up version, might do something like that.

IIUC the content scripts that extensions use load after the page is loaded, so this shouldn't affect page load times. But please reach out if you feel like it does!

You actually can amplify the page and add a comment! Other ampie users will see that you've been there and the comment, and you can see the list of amplified links of other people,…

Ok yeah that's just the indexing. I am using the bigquery HN dump to index, but using their free quota I can go through the archive only ~once a week. Ideally ampie would just go t…

Sorry about that =( This is done in part to prevent abuse of the api, since all the requests are processed on my server and not offloaded to e.g. algolia.

Yeah there is some lag in the indexing, I do scrape all the HN submissions but like once a week (it's in plans to make this immediate but haven't gotten around to it yet). Just to …

That is needed to see the tweets mentioning the page, but it is not required to use Ampie. This is done because twitter api is very limiting otherwise.
