🧰 Highlighty is an open-source phrase highlighter extension I wrote during my time at Facebook.

Motivation

This project was born following an internal post at Facebook, where I previously interned in the fall. Highlighting tools improve productivity for recruiters, community operations, and others. Existing highlighting web extensions are lacking in functionality and UI/UX, and have some security concerns due to network calls. I decided to take on the project and open-source it.
