Kiwi Conversations插件简介

Kiwi Conversations插件描述

As you browse the web  Kiwi checks to see if there have ever been any conversations on reddit, Hacker News,  Product Hunt about the web page youre visiting. It also checks Google News f related news.

You can also make a custom search (any string of characters) across all the services.  This returns the alltime best conversations about whatever youre searching.  Try "MacBook", the place you live,  anything you want to learn about.



As you browse the web it searches f conversations: If it finds any results  the icon updates with a letter depending on what it finds (r,h,p,  G).  If it finds conversations with a *ton* of comments  it capitalizes the letter. So "R" means that thirty  me people commented in a Reddit thread about the site youre visiting. etc.
To view the results, just click the icon.

Privacy Settings:

Kiwi uses 3rd party APIs to provide conversations while you surf. 

With Research mode to "Off" by default, you can check URLs on a by basis ( still be able to do custom searches). Admittedly, it takes some of the serendipity out of it, but this prevents Kiwi from automatically perfming searches as you surf. 

[Version 1.0.1 Note:: Kiwi Conversations now has Research Mode off by default  has a Whitelist feature that lets certain sites (e.g., news sites, blogs, etc.) be automatically checked.  You can also just toggle Research Mode on  every URL will be autosearched.]

(Me technical): Kiwi doesnt cache any personal info in localStage  sync stage (which at least Chrome does not encrypt :< ). The api results are sted in a local variable within the scope of the extension. And the "histy" is a hashed  padded blob.

[Version Note 1.1.8  some of the search APIs were unavailable f several hours on 2015816. this led to a po user experience, so I have implemented several changes, chiefly: if a service is down  there will be a message notifying you of the netwk outages (which you can dismiss)   the rest of the results will flow in as they nmally would.  :) phew, thanks f hanging around. ive tested this as well as I reasonably can, but if you notice any bugs, let me know at @spencenow on the twitters, thanks again!]

[Version Note 1.1.4 to existing users: the extension now has the option to also check f Product Hunt submissions! (You wont be optedin automatically if you had it installed befe 2015814). This does require you to agree to new permissions because of the new API. Sry f the inconvenience.]

PRIVACY POLICY  ADDED JULY 5, 2016
Kiwi uses 3rdparty APIs (Reddit, Algolia f HN, Product Hunt API [with Algolia Search f custom string searches]  Google News) to provide conversations about the URLs you are visiting while you surf.

By default, you (the Chrome extension user) must click the green “Research this Url” button while currently visiting a specific URL in der f Kiwi to research the conversations f it.  Research Mode can of course be toggled to "on", so Kiwi Conversations automatically checks f conversations (on Reddit, HN, Product Hunt, Google News). 

Whenever these services are queried, the requests are sent over HTTPS (an encrypted protocol).

You can toggle any of the specific APIs off/on in settings.

The results of these research results  other userrelated URL histy info is not persisted to local stage. Instead, this user data is sted in locally scoped variables of the extension.
