Hey Product Hunt! I built TermPop because technical reading kept pulling me out of the page. When I ran into an unfamiliar acronym, framework, or research term, the usual flow was: copy it, open a search tab, compare a few results, then return and try to recover the original context. It is a tiny interruption, but repeated dozens of times in a paper, documentation page, or technical discussion, it breaks the reading rhythm. TermPop keeps that loop in place. It highlights terms while you read, shows a concise contextual explanation on hover, and lets you select any phrase for a focused explanation. The core matcher runs locally with Rust and WebAssembly; LLM features are optional and use the provider configuration chosen by the user. The project evolved through a lot of small, practical details: preserving page layout while highlighting live DOM text, preventing explanations from covering the wrong content, caching results without mixing contexts, supporting personal dictionaries and ignored terms, and building a dedicated PDF viewer for technical papers. I am especially interested in feedback on: - Which sites or document types you read most often - Whether hover, selection, or hybrid mode feels most natural - What would make TermPop trustworthy enough for your everyday reading workflow Thanks for taking a look.
