X-Ray Feed – A Chrome extension to visualize the Twitter/X algorithm I got tired of guessing why my timeline looked the way it did, so I built a tool to reverse-engineer the "Heavy Ranker" logic in real-time. It’s an MV3 extension that overlays the hidden weight of every post directly in the feed. It distinguishes between organic content ("Thunder" nodes) and AI-injected recommendations ("Phoenix" nodes) so you can actually distinguish following vs. algorithmic fill. The scoring is based on a log10(Engagement) * 20 formula to visualize velocity. I originally built it just to clean up my own feed hygiene, but it turned out to be a pretty useful arbitrage tool, identifying "flops" (good topics from big accounts that failed due to structure) that are worth rewriting. All the analysis happens locally in the browser. Would love to hear what you think about the scoring accuracy. | ||
