Mostly Harmless

Mostly Harmless Features

Mostly Harmless is currently under rapid development, so its features are constantly changing. Once v1.0.0 is released, I will list and demonstrate features here.

Discovery & Voting

Mostly Harmless looks up the page you are currently viewing to see if it has been submitted to reddit. If so, you can see everywhere it has been posted, vote up or down, save/share/hide/report the post, and even add comments straight from the popup.

Desktop Notifications

Every redditor knows the joy of getting an orangered. Every redditor also knows that finding out what it’s for, who it’s from, and what it says is half of the fun! Mostly Harmless will check for orangereds at a specified interval and display a desktop notification when you get one. Of course, you can turn this off if you like.

Privacy

Your browsing habits are your own, and you probably don't want every page you visit checked on reddit. Instead, Mostly Harmless can only look up pages when you click its icon if you so choose. Of course that could get tedious, so Mostly Harmless also supports excluding lookups based on domain and regular expression matches.

Fork me on Github

I need to write something about Github forking and pull requests.

Or, you can run git clone to grab the files read-only.
