       | Hi hackers. I wrote an AI browser extension for chat with page.
       | 
       | I know there are many existing tools like this. But every existed
       | tools require me login before using it and I must use their AI
       | models (which is the way they make money).
       | 
       | So I write my own tools for it. The key features are:
       | 
       | - No need to login, just use it
       | 
       | - Use your own AI API key
       | 
       | - Use your own custom prompt
       | 
       | - Chat run entirely within the browser, without passing through
       | any third-party servers

         | page, will less than $20/year.
         | 
         | But I can share the tech stack I use:
         | 
         | - WXT: the browser extension framework
         | 
         | - Vercel AI SDK. Both SDK core and SDK UI. I wrote a bridge
         | that I can proxy the api request to background script which
         | compat with the SDK streaming protocol, so that I can use the
         | SDK UI.
         | 
         | - Next.js: for the landing page and the up coming cloud service
         | (e.g. prompt sync)
         | 
         | - Strapi: headless cms.

           | Fair enough. I asked because an extension like this has
           | access to too much information which I don't like from a
           | privacy stand point.
           | 
           | Thanks for sharing though!

           | I'd rather pay more, once, than another* subscription.
           | 
           | *Of which, I have reduced to two: phone plan [EUR5.99pcm],
           | and mullvad [EUR5.00pcm].
           | 
           | No more.
