Hi everyone,

I’m the developer behind LightUp, a browser extension I’ve been building to help people stay focused while exploring content on the web. The idea is simple: you highlight any text, and LightUp instantly gives you explanations, summaries, translations, or analyses—all without switching tabs.

Here’s a bit more about it:

• Pricing: Free and open source.
• State: In early stages (beta).
• What it does: Automatically explains complex ideas, condenses long text, translates or analyzes content, and has a context-awareness feature that understands text in relation to the larger content on the page—all within the same page.

It was inspired by those moments when I’d get stuck trying to understand something and didn’t want to break my flow by jumping to Google. If you’re curious to try it, here’s the direct link: LightUp Extension.

I’d love to know what you think—whether it’s something you’d use or how I can improve it. If you’ve got any questions, feel free to ask!

Thanks for reading 😊
