@michael_andreuzza Thank you, if you find the article I'd be really interested in reading it, I've never heard of anything similar but I wouldn't be surprised if it's already been thought of

@m_dolr here it is. A proposal for enabling seamless navigations between sites or pages - https://wicg.github.io/portals/ - https://github.com/WICG/portals is quiet interesting I have to say.

Clever idea. Love the leaderboard of contributors on the landing page. Smart way to give recognition and motivate people to participate.

@rrhoover Hey thank you! The "leaderboard" idea wasn't really planned at first, I just wanted to show a list of contributors and I needed a way to organize them in a table so I guess it ended up like that naturally.

Hey Product Hunt community! Here is my side-project, Survol, a free and open-source browser extension to preview any link you hover. Current features : Survol has API implementations for the following sites : - Twitter - Reddit - Youtube - Soundcloud - Wikipedia We use page title and meta-data to provide previews for other websites. Project history : I started Survol last year during Hacktoberfest* 2019 as a personal project. I paused it for a year. I picked it back up a few days ago and I've received a lot of contributions and help from the open-source community. In just a few days we've fixed old bugs from last year and added many features. As people are interested in the project on Github and a few friends have asked me for the code I figured I should publish the extension and share it here. *Hacktoberfest is an event run by Digital Ocean during october (hence the name), that rewards open source contributions.
