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 communication, debugging, thinking on the spot, testing, code

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 free to reach out at gleb at coda dot io.

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 chrome decides to implement the sidebar api that firefox has

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 trust me on that), and as all the process

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 bit of effort to click and with an unknown rew

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 in cljs. I've used shadow-cljs tho

What kind of controls/customizations would you like?

by posobin 5y ago
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 permissions that ampie needs here: ht

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 ampie on a domain completely by going into settings: click on t

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 brought this up. The problem with making it a button is that peo

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 page. If there were hits, it would show a small tab in the b

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!

by posobin 5y ago
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, e.g. mine: https://ampie.app/posobin

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 through the new submissions regularly using the HN api,

by posobin 5y ago
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.

by posobin 5y ago
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 make sure, if you go to one of those other pages o

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.

Hi HN! Ampie is an extension that lets you discover backlinks to the page you are reading: either from HN, tweets, or blog posts that ampie scraped. It's been unexpectedly useful for myself: finding alternatives to libraries or apps I

There are 58 prior HN comments with plantuml.com, mostly in various discussions of diagramming tools, but not only that: https://ampie.app/url-context?url=plantuml.com And a bunch of pages on the same domain have also been
