Show HN: Chrome Extension to add top news stories to Facebook Town Hall feature

2 pointsby Static2280about 6 years ago
I recently discovered the Facebook Town Hall feature and thought it was super useful to see what politicians and local government bodies represent my area. I got to thinking about how it might be improved and I settled on a service to see the top 5 news articles pertaining to each entry in the Town Hall directory. Since Facebook, to my knowledge, does not open the Town Hall functionality up to their API I built a Chrome extension that inserts the news articles beneath each entry. The code for the extension can be found here for anyone curious how it works <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Static-Flow&#x2F;townhall-news-extension" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Static-Flow&#x2F;townhall-news-extension</a> and the url for the extension in the Chrome store is here <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chrome.google.com&#x2F;webstore&#x2F;detail&#x2F;facebook-town-hall-news-a&#x2F;cnmgmhnjjoofngkkmlbflpekokahgegj" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chrome.google.com&#x2F;webstore&#x2F;detail&#x2F;facebook-town-hall...</a>
