Daily.dev is a very good extension that helps us aggregate news from several sources.

When browsing news, I usually scan the Title -> Thumbnail -> Description. However, the current view of Daily.dev has only Title and Thumbnail in Grid view and only Title in Listing view. This requires me to click on an article to read more in a popup, which consumes more reading time.

Fortunately, Daily.dev is open source, so we can submit feature requests or even customize the design to suit our needs.

In this case, I have submitted a feature request on the dailydev/apps repository and also implemented a new design that can serve my needs. You can review my pull request here: pull/2060.

They have mentioned that they need to pass this request to the Design team before reviewing my merge request or implementing a new UI.

In the meantime, you can pull my request, build it, and install it locally using these easy steps:

Step 1: Clone my code

git clone --branch feat/show-more-metadata git@github.com:huantt/daily-dot-dev-apps.git

Step 2: Build

pnpm install

cd packages/extension

pnpm run build:chrome

The output will be located at packages/extension/dist/chrome.

Step 3: Install

• Open Chrome.
• Click the Extension button > Manage Extensions. Alternatively, you can enter the following URL directly: chrome://extensions.

• Enable Developer Mode.

• Click on Load unpacked.

• Point to packages/extension/dist/chrome.

Open a new tab, and you will see that all articles in Grid view or Listing View now have a Title, Description, and Thumbnail.

I hope that it's helpful for you, and I also hope that Daily.dev releases a new UI soon.
