Starting work on Peek "Warp" (Patreon)

One of my browser extensions is Peek, which allows you to view previews of links just by hovering over them with your mouse. It hasn't received a major update since 2017, and performance is pretty terrible, so it's long overdue for an update.

I've started working on a near-complete rewrite of Peek, called 'Peek Warp'. My hope is that it will be significantly faster than the existing version, as I'm using Tooltip.js to generate popup previews instead of Tooltipster, and it uses completely vanilla JavaScript instead of jQuery. At the moment there aren't any popups, but the new link detection code is working:



If the new library is still too slow, I might make something simplistic myself. I'll see how it goes!
