[2026-07-21 21:19] Show HN: StarSkew, a privacy-light Amazon review analyzer (starskew.com)
I built "StarSkew". A privacy-light Amazon review analysis tool. Right now, Chrome and Edge extensions are available.
The extension displays a small feedback box on the Amazon product page, giving you an easy "red/yellow/green" rating for the product's reviews.
In its initial version, it simply checks the average rating, review count, rating distribution, and review velocity. It doesn't analyze review text and doesn't collect any browser history.
Demo: https://youtu.be/fX2bChgv3Gw
Happy to answer any questions!
