    I thought it would be interesting to have ID style hover docs outside the IDE. Hover is a Chrome extension that gives you IDE style hover tooltips on any webpage: documentation sites, ChatGPT, Claude, etc. How it works: - When a code block comes into view, the extension detects tokens and sends the code to an LLM (via OpenRouter or custom endpoint) - The LLM generates documentation for tokens worth documenting, which gets cached - On hover, the cached documentation is displayed instantly A few things I wanted to get right: - Website permissions are granular and use Chrome's permission…

    Hey HN, I recently built a small TypeScript utility called `hover-effects-ts` — it adds fun and experimental hover effects to images using the HTML canvas. You can apply effects like ASCII art, Lego blocks, glitch distortion, and pixelation on hover.

It's my first open-source project so I try to make everything right: * I created a npm-project so it is available on npmjs and CDNs * I created a public github-repository with a wiki for documentation * I created a landing page to show off the animations I'd love to here some feedback about all of this! :) Here are the links: https://github.com/philippwilhelm/sunset.css…
