Find On Reddit + Hacker News — roon

Find discussions of the current URL on Reddit or Hacker News

Minimal, light-weight, open-source extension that finds Reddit or Hacker News threads of the current URL using Reddit's and Algolia public API. You can either initiate the search by clicking the extension button, or by having auto-search enabled, which automatically does the search in the background for every URL you visit.

Other features include:
- Do an exact or a fuzzy search
- Special YouTube handling: search by video ID to find all variations of YouTube links
- Ignore URL's query-string
- Sort results by score, # of comments, age, or subreddit
- Blacklist sites to exclude them from auto-search or whitelist to have the extension only auto-search on certain websitesAdeelH/find-on-reddit
- Cache results for a (configurable) amount of time to reduce network usage

Forked from AdeelH's wonderful extension for Chrome and JeffreyCA's Hacker News implementation.

This extension is essentially a complete rewrite of the frontend of AddelH's extension with a refactoring of the backend code to simplify and optimize some elements.
