What is it?

Hackertab.dev is a browser extension that replaces the new tab page with a customizable feed of developer content. It aggregates posts from sources such as GitHub Trending, Hacker News, DevTo, Hashnode, Lobsters, Product Hunt, Reddit, Medium and conference listings from Confs.tech, and lets you filter by programming language, framework and topic.

Users can pick the sources they follow, bookmark items to read later, and switch on dark mode. Custom RSS feeds can be added as sources. The project also offers a web version and includes an AI-based recommendation feature that tailors content to a user's preferences.

The codebase is TypeScript, built with Vite and Yarn, and supports separate builds for the web, Chrome and Firefox. It is licensed under Apache-2.0.
