Preview threads & profiles in a window
Preview any X thread by hovering a link
Most ways to read X threads mean opening new tabs and losing your place. Glimpse is different: hover any link on X and the full thread opens in a floating panel — right where you are. Read complete threads, reply branches, profiles, video, and auto-translated posts without ever leaving the page. Pin it and keep scrolling. No tab chaos, no jumping away. Free to use; Pro adds saved folders, searchable reading history, and PDF export. Built solo, end to end.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built Glimpse to solve something that bugged me: reading X usually means opening threads in new tabs and losing your place in the timeline.
With Glimpse, you hover any link on X and the full thread opens in a floating panel — replies, profiles, video, and auto-translation — without leaving the page. You can pin it and keep scrolling.
It's free. Pro adds saving threads to folders, searchable reading history, and PDF export.
I built the whole thing solo — the extension, the website, and the payments. It's my first real launch, so I'd really appreciate your honest feedback on what works, what doesn't, and what would make it more useful.
Happy to answer anything!
