Hackdrop szerző: TheEdoRan

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 Trends and Hacker News, 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. The full privacy policy is linked from the listing.
