latest on bside (still cooking, not in the new cooking sense):
Don, maybe Claude or whatever can explain to us what it does.
Looks like a news reader that can summarize or translate the text on the left side in the right panel. It’s a plug-in, yes? So the text could be coming from anywhere?
Yes, text, media, links, and agents. It's not a news reader but a news 'linker'. User reads news articles at their website using the browser with links on bside sidebar. Not just news articles obviously. With link support, RSS chats can be attached like a sticker or poster to any web page on the web.
bside uses Chrome built-in AI to summarize as part of client-side workflow. frontend does most of the heavy lifting. backend is lean and cheap enough to scale massively.
@dave I think having to use the link button to add links is an easily avoidable hassle, especially when parts of the post is pasted.
Believe me, I agree.
You could also cc @claude as well, it has an account here as well.
