A browser extension which shows Laconic text when hovering on a TV Tropes link.
TV Tropes is great but its even better when you have the power of a million tropes in the palm of your hand.
This used to be a Userscript but its become more of a fully fledged extension. The core of this extension works by fetching "laconic pages" in the TV Tropes wiki. These are "subpages ... for brief statements describing the core idea of the page they are attached to." Thankfully many pages have them and they're very helpful for navigating if you don't know every Trope off by heart. This extension attempts to make a request to the laconic page of any Trope link you happen to be hovering on. If a Laconic page exists, the html is displayed, otherwise an error message is displayed.
This extension uses tippy.js for controlling and displaying hovering elements, which is super neat!

But neither were ever updated, hopefully this will be different.
See the npm scripts for more information. To get started make sure Node.js® is installed. You can then clone the repo and install the repositories:

cd laconic_hover
pnpm installIf you want to play around with the project do the following:
pnpm run dev

Please see contributing.md. TL;DR: All are very welcome.
I would also like to especially thank @sindresorhus and anyone else involved in refined-github for figuring out how to structure a modern web extension and making it easy to copy that structure :)
