不好使

Great tool! It's very helpful when researching a topic.

Diner Ismail, 2015-07-13

Very nice idea! It's already so useful, but I hope authors are thinking of more functionality. For instance: automatic extraction of relevant words from the current page, display of users with similar interests. It also has a few minor bugs, but that's what one expects for a just-launched tool and it already works pretty well anyway!
