It's been 2 years since the initial release [here](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36102610). The initial version was a very basic prototype which was not available anywhere beyond the GitHub repo. You had to install it as a userscript or load the extension manually.
Since then, it remained simple but better, new features include:
- Improved accuracy by also using comments to help gauge the topic of discussion and the right keywords.
- Published as plugin for more browsers: Chrome, Firefox (including android), and more recently Microsoft Edge.
- Support for narrow screens and mobile devices.
- Added preference controls.
You're here because you love interesting HN discussions but they're often buried away like hidden gems, so give it a try and let me know what you think.
(no shade to you, OP. Seems like a cool idea, great that it exists. Just that if there were the option to turn this off on most social media I would probably take it)

This extension has 'manual' mode which only show the search field by default and then you get to fetch results at your command. Very much like an embedded search engine.
Its functionality is more like the book recommendations you come across on goodreads. It only shows when you visit a discussion you're interested in. The nature of this website by itself is quite different from other social media.
But I understand where you're coming from and appreciate you raising awareness.
I think I know why it was hard to identify the font. I used two:
The larger text (Orange) is 'Space Grotesk': https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Space+Grotesk
The smaller text in black is 'Roc Grotesk'
