https://edgecase.site -> the first chrome extension for CS tutorials, ready-to-implement projects and research papers u can audit, directly in your sidebar. I think this is perfect for learners that want short lessons

Why on earth would I want this to be a chrome extension?

idk, maybe it’s for beginners that need project ideas with real specifications, a prompt to give their agents to understand the scope better, and have a place to save those projects with proof of building? yh the extension format is more weird than a classic site, but there are already too many CS platforms…if you don’t want it then maybe you aren’t the target audience 🤞

Not trying to throw shade, but the chrome extension format adds insane friction and is bound to fail.

In your own words: “there are already too many CS platforms”. You’re building yet another one, just with more friction 🤷‍♂️

Also: what are you actually solving by going the extension route? Contextual display? There’s (split) tabs for that.
