I built a Chrome extension that adds Google Docs-style comments to every
website on the internet.

Any element. Any page. Any team.

It's called Leafy 🌿. Here's what it does and how I built it 🧵

People are using it for:

→ Product teams reviewing competitor sites
→ Designers leaving feedback on live prototypes
→ Researchers annotating sources together
→ QA marking bugs on staging environments
→ Teachers annotating pages with students

Im trying to build a free platform where book readers can select the book they're reading, and the output will be a library of the characters, with their description, and an actor assigned to the characters. I get confused between characters so this will help visualise things

New shortest path algo just dropped

[Dorsa @dorsa_rohani]

New fastest shortest-path algorithm in 41 years!
Tsinghua researchers broke Dijkstra’s 1984 “sorting barrier,” achieving O(m log^(2/3) n) time. This means faster route planning, less traffic, cheaper deliveries, and more efficient networks - and a CS curriculum revamp =)
