SideAsk v0.7.0 — Browser First, Anywhere When You Want It
SideAsk remains a browser-first AI side-question layer: select a phrase, click ✦ Explain, understand it beside the source, and stay on the main track.
喜欢网页端的划词体验后，现在可以选择安装 SideAsk Anywhere for Windows，把同样的交互带到 VS Code、PDF、终端和其他 Windows 应用。
What is included
- Browser extension first: safe Markdown streaming, nearby web context, follow-up questions, Recent, Favorites, bilingual UI, and 25 Provider presets.
- Optional Windows companion: global
Alt+Shift+A, an opt-in selection-adjacent Explain button, lightweight WebView2 overlay, tray controls, and click-away dismissal. - Configure once on Windows: browser and desktop share one loopback Gateway, default Provider, and encrypted on-device Provider Vault.
- No account or cloud sync: browser history and favorites stay in extension-private storage; Provider credentials remain in the local Vault.
- Simpler project: the redundant v0.6 VS Code side panel has been removed in favor of the standalone overlay.
