Show HN: Track official AI company news and blogs in your Chrome side panel
TL;DR
I've already picked up so much great news and tips from here — thanks to the HNers for sharing.
Key Points
- That said, I still find myself manually checking various official newsrooms and engineering blogs.
- To save myself from the constant 'tab hunting,' I built a small Chrome extension with a bit of help from Codex.
- It’s been working well for my workflow, so I figured I’d put it on the Web Store in case anyone else finds it useful.
- Since many companies don't provide (or they just neglect) RSS feeds anymore, I built it to fetch the pages directly and extract the links.
Nauti's Take
A clean workaround for a real problem: anyone tracking official AI company news has to juggle a dozen newsrooms without RSS — a small Chrome side-panel extension saves a lot of tab-hopping. Catch: web scraping is fragile; a layout redesign on any source page and the tool stops working.
Aggregators also amplify the focus on the loudest players, while smaller voices stay invisible. Useful for developers and AI watchers, but keep alternative sources in your rotation.
