CursorParty is a Chrome extension that reveals the invisible: everyone else reading the same Wikipedia article, documentation page, or blog post as you right now. Unlike Slack/Discord (heavy, invite-only) or Twitter/X (async, performative), CursorParty is ambient and lightweight — the internet as a shared space rather than a broadcast platform.
I kept having the same weird experience: landing on a niche Wikipedia page or HN thread and wondering "who else is here right now?" Millions of people share the same URLs daily, but the web is architecturally lonely — everyone sits in parallel isolation.
CursorParty started as an experiment: what if we made the "others" visible without making it social media? No profiles, no followers, no persistence. Just presence, a quick "yeah this part is wild," and then you both move on.
This is neat! but I guess the idea only works if there’s high adoption, right? I can imagine a scenario where someone sees it on PH or HN and thinks, “oh, rad! let me try it out.” and then after a couple of days, they don’t see many cursors so they remove it. how are you thinking about this?
Given the product is anonymous and lightweight by design, what’s your plan for keeping the experience high-signal (spam/harassment, trolls, raids) without reintroducing heavy identity, accounts, or persistent moderation overhead?
Funny idea, but which people's cursors are showing there, those you've installed the plugin only I suppose?
