Post Peek — Litterbox-Inspired Tweet Viewing Extension for Chrome

Tim VanBenschoten: Post Peek is an independent, open-source project inspired by Litterbox , the Safari extension by Zhenyi Tan (And a Dinosaur). ★

Post Peek is a Chrome extension that allows users to view X and Twitter post links in a popup, rather than opening the full site. This extension was inspired by Litterbox, a Safari extension by Zhenyi Tan. Post Peek is an independent, open-source project that implements the same idea as Litterbox but is specifically designed for Chrome.

Users can add Post Peek to their Chrome browser from the Chrome Web Store, where the reviewed build is kept up to date. To use Post Peek, open chrome://extensions, enable Developer mode, click Load unpacked, and select the corresponding folder. The extension intentionally does not run on file:// pages. The source code for Post Peek is not derived from Litterbox, as Litterbox is closed source and not affiliated with or supported by the creators of Post Peek.
