Summary
CursorParty is a Chrome extension that creates a shared browsing experience by showing live multiplayer cursors and chat of other people reading the same webpage (Wikipedia articles, documentation, blog posts) in real time. It positions itself as an ambient, lightweight alternative to heavy invite-only platforms like Slack/Discord or async platforms like Twitter/X, aiming to make the internet feel like a shared space rather than a broadcast medium.
