What it does
SkimFast opens any X (Twitter) post's full reply thread in a popover, right over your timeline — one click, read the whole conversation, then keep scrolling. No opening the post in a new tab and clicking back. Real nested reply chains, sort by Top or Latest, jump to the most-liked reply, drill into any branch, inline images and video, and it auto-matches your X theme. Private and local — no servers, no tracking.
Open any X (Twitter) post's full reply thread in a popover, right in your timeline. No new tab, no clicking back and forth.
One click opens any X reply thread in a popover — read it and keep scrolling. No new tab, no clicking back and forth. The original post and its nested replies, opened in a popover over your feed — not a new page. No clicking into the post and back out for every thread. Open the replies inline, skim, and you’re still scrolling — threads in seconds, not page loads. Auto-matches light, dim, and lights-out — down to the Chirp font. It feels like X opened it. Threads load right in your browser. We store nothing. We see nothing. Yes. SkimFast works on your own logged-in X, right in your browser — it only shows threads you could already see. It never collects your password or login. Nothing. No…from skimfa.st

TotemJul 2026 · chromewebstore.google.com · ▲141Repo: https://github.com/nnnkit/totem Bookmarking a tweet/article/thread on X is one click, but actually reading it later is like five clicks — open X, dig into history, bookmarks, find the post, and dodge the distraction of new feeds and notifications on the way there. So I had hundreds of genuinely great tweets saved and basically never read any of them. Totem puts that queue on the browser new tab, so reading them is just one click away. No feed distraction, no algorithm, no AI, no server, no account — it's all local. In one sentence "It's like the reading…
- IRI reverse engineered X to Read Threads without Any Account as Articles2024 · ▲59
Hi fellow hackers, I'm Ved, I came across the pain point of having a reader that could provide threads as articles after scrolling them many times and missing the context of the original info shared. To solve my itch I decided to build a thread reader without Ads(all existing sol. were full of them), since X/Twitter API was very pricey, I did some reverse engineering to convert rendered X.com/twitter pages to an API and host it in a VM (which obv. was dead cheap). All of your data is saved in LocalStorage. Including your comments and saved threads(there is a known issue with Linux…

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
