Overview

Replace your new tab with a random Hacker News story and a short AI summary.

Hacker Space turns every new tab into a quiet, focused Hacker News feed—one story at a time. Open a new tab and get a random recent HN post with: • Title and link to the article • Short AI-generated summary so you can decide in seconds • Domain, author, and live points (when available) • One-click path to the HN comments thread Built for people who like HN but don’t want another noisy feed. Features • Random story on every new tab (biased toward fresher posts) • Optional AI summary for quick scanning • Bookmarks with private notes (stored only on your device) • Theme: auto, light, or dark • Font: sans, serif, or mono • Toggle points, domain, author, and summary on or off • Fast load with local cache and background refresh Privacy • Bookmarks, notes, and settings stay in your browser (local storage only) • The extension only talks to: – hn.tinkerers.space (story summaries) – Hacker News Firebase API (live scores) • No accounts, no ads, no tracking SDKs Permissions • New tab override — this is the entire product: a custom new tab page • Access to hn.tinkerers.space — load summarized HN stories • Access to hacker-news.firebaseio.com — refresh point counts Perfect if you want less doomscrolling and more signal every time you open a tab.
