About portaltext

portaltext bridges the gap between hyperlink origin and destination. Hover any link and get a short, context-aware summary of where it leads. Hover the links inside each summary to recurse deeper. Works on articles, PDFs, images, and academic citations (arXiv, DOI, PMID). One click annotates a whole page with hoverable concepts. Every Wikipedia link is verified against the live API. AI connects pages that already exist, simply summarizing the bridge between them, never hallucinating new information. Free, account-less, open source (github.com/alaskahoffman/portaltext). No tracking, no hover history, no ads. Supporters keep it free for everyone. whats new! (july 2, v0.4.0): Universal on/off switch • adjustable hover speed • fewer accidental tooltips (portaltext now waits for your cursor to settle, and stays quiet while you scroll, type, or select) • politely turns itself off on sites where it keeps getting in your way — with one-click undo • no more tooltips on unplayed videos
