Thanks for the kind words! I'd say Netvyne is a tool, and it remains to be seen how exactly it evolves. I'm not too sure what you mean by slant, are you referring to something like the "culture"? Content discovery is alr

What are your thoughts on the built-in network request disabling option or Chrome's option to disable unless clicked? I know you use Firefox, but for me these options seem to be sufficient for Chrome at least (and are already available

I think hypothes.is has pulled it off the best so far! It's just presentation-wise they've gone for academia and also not put much effort into aggregation

Yup! I think the fact that the idea has been tried so many times though, its doomed to succeed one day ;) There's no doubt of the value it would it would bring if it did take off; usually though after a spectacular release it just dies

I am leaning toward open-sourcing it; perhaps HN can help me make the decision ;) Regarding extensions that run on every page, I totally understand the concern. That's why we already built in the option to make it manually run network

Hi HN, trust 2022 is off to a good start! I’d like to introduce Netvyne, a tool which at its core is a Chrome extension that empowers you (the consumer) to leave and read comments on any URL. There are many challenges with the current state
