Hackdrop

Extension Developer Tools3 users

Overview

Your daily drop of GitHub Trending and Hacker News, in every new tab.

Hackdrop replaces your new-tab page with two clean columns of what's new in software: GitHub Trending on the left, Hacker News on the right. Open a tab and you get the same signal you'd get from manually checking github.com/trending and news.ycombinator.com, without the click. WHAT YOU GET • Two clean columns. GitHub Trending on the left, Hacker News on the right. • Daily, weekly, or monthly trending. Your last choice is remembered. • Auto theme. Follows your browser's prefers-color-scheme. No toggle, no flash on load. • Fast. Cached results render instantly, then refresh in the background. • Quiet. No accounts, no settings page, no notifications. • Open source, MIT-licensed. PRIVACY Hackdrop has no analytics, no accounts, and no third-party trackers. The extension talks to a single host, hackdrop-api.theedoran.xyz, operated by the developer, which proxies github.com/trending and the official Hacker News API on the server side. Your browser never contacts those services directly. The only thing stored on your device is a short-lived cache of the public trending lists, kept in browser.storage.local.
