portaltext — a cat peeking through a green portal

portaltext is a free and open-source, AI browser extension that produces short, context-aware summaries of links, images, and PDFs on hover. It reads both the current page and the linked destination, so a reader can follow a reference without leaving the page.

A solo project, designed and built by Alaska Hoffman. Released June 2026.
