Hi! Sorry for the delay, update coming in a few days with lots of Quality of Life improvements like a universal on/off toggle and more intelligent hover-awareness so you don't waste usage when you don't want to :)

Thanks for your patience while I took a break after release <3

[portaltext @portaltext]

happy portal-ing!!

it's here! introducing @portaltext, a free browser extension for contextualizing the web

hover anything and follow your curiosity wherever it takes you. portaltext knows what page you're on, where you're going, and fills in the gap

every link is a portal

i made a little tool that fills in all of your knowledge gaps as you read so you can understand any blog immediately

our dear chemist friend who has been helping us test made a simple feature request, let portaltext search the web!

now, truly research anything on the web, even if it's not a link, even if it doesn't have a wikipedia page.

release announcement coming sooner than you think! :)

[portaltext @portaltext]

basically the way portaltext works is that our little buddy Porter (the cat) runs to the next webpage for you, researches it, then comes back to explain it to you. like a fetch quest.

portaltext is made by a real person with a poetry degree

Supercharged research ^-^

Check references and citations with just a single hover, works automatically on DOI, PMID, arXiv, ISBN, RFC.

Final product ship before launch, promise!

Tooltips are now savable, so you can revisit any item of interest at a later time. This should aid greatly in our goal of eliminating the "1,000,000 Wikipedia Tab Problem"

porter, show me "Kirkification" etymology tree please.

almost every single AI product is promising to do a human thing better. That job a person had? its AI's now, with gloopglorp! Azumo makes accounting easier !

portaltext does not replace a job.
portaltext is an entirely new mode of computing.

[portaltext @portaltext]

i don't know why google got rid of this but we're bringing it back

[portaltext @portaltext]

im really really trying to understand what openai did w this math thing but i cant im sorry i dont get it

[portaltext @portaltext]
