- Privacy and security are the highest priority for PageNow. We only collect addresses and titles of websites that a user shares.
- For transparency, we have made the entire source code of PageNow public at https://github.com/PageNow.
On PageNow, you share the page you are reading and see what page your friends are reading in real-time. You can enjoy natural and contextual social interaction by looking at how your friends are spending time. PageNow helps friends reconnect by providing live activity-based conversation starters.
PageNow provides two main functionalities. The first feature is "Pages." It shows your friends' current activities by listing the domains and titles of websites your friends are on. In the extension background, you update your friends when you open a new page or switch pages. To solve the privacy problem, you can build an allow-list or a deny-list to have full control of the websites you would like to share or block. The second feature is "Chats," a messaging component. It lets you start conversations directly through PageNow and make your conversations relevant to what you are doing right now.
PageNow is a perfect solution for people who like to show what they are reading/watching and for people who are curious about what their friends are doing. It is a social service that incorporates the fundamental nature of social interactions.
