HoverCards is a chrome extension that lets you see what's behind links from youtube, twitter, reddit, soundcloud, imgur, & instagram — all with out ever leaving the web page you're currently on.
Install HoverCards from the chrome webstore. Simple.
npm install -g hovercardsYou will need to load the chrome extension as an unpacked extension, which there is a guide for. The extension will be in the dist folder.

brew install redis # https://medium.com/@petehouston/install-and-config-redis-on-mac-os-x-via-homebrew-eb8df9a4f298
git clone git@github.com:kogg/hovercards.git
cd hovercards

There are a few environment variables that should be set in .env to get different functionality working. For example, to get imgur working, you'll need the IMGUR_CLIENT_ID environment variable. Most of these aren't provided, as they are the secret API keys for the running services. 😄
Everything except the content scripts are hot reloaded. This includes a local version of the website, which can be viewed at localhost:5000.
Our tests are very incomplete. Currently, there are tests for the various integrations (eg. reddit, youtube, etc.) but none for the extension's logic or the website.
The tests run automatically on every pull request. They also run on master before releasing to our website, chrome webstore, and server.
There are included .editorconfig, .eslintrc, and .stylelintrc files which, on commit, should check (and attempt to fix) the code style. We have a custom set of rules, so look through those files to determine what's going on there.
We just opened up HoverCards to the world, so we're looking for this to be a community driven project. Our documentation is very spotty and looking for love. Feel free to create issues, chat with us in our gitter, and throw us some pull requests of your own!
