Heimdal: Viral Tweet Detector

Tired of endlessly scrolling through a noisy timeline? Wish you could instantly see which tweets are actually gaining traction and about to go viral?

Enter Heimdal. Named after the all-seeing guardian of the Norse gods, Heimdal is your smart assistant for X (formerly Twitter). It cuts through the clutter, identifying viral and trending tweets in real-time right in your feed.

How It Works:

Heimdal goes beyond simple like counts. It analyses multiple factors to determine a tweet's true velocity:

- Engagement Rate: Engagements-per-hour to find what's hot right now.
- Controversy Score: A unique reply-to-like ratio to spot engaging debates.
- Tweet Age: Prioritises fresh, emerging content.
- And more...

Key Features:

- Real-Time Viral & Trending Badges: See at a glance which tweets are taking off with clean, unobtrusive badges.
- In-Depth Stats on Hover: Hover over any badge to see the data behind the score: engagement rate, content type, controversy score, and a full breakdown of replies, retweets, and likes.
- Viral Only Feed: The ultimate focus mode. With one click, hide all non-viral tweets to see only the most important content on your timeline. (This feature is automatically disabled on your Notifications page so you never miss a mention).
- Fully Customisable Engine: Open the heimdal.config panel to fine-tune the thresholds. You control what "viral" means to you.
- Lightweight & Fast: Built for performance. Heimdal is designed to be fast and efficient, so it won't slow down your browsing experience.
- Privacy-Focused: All analysis is done entirely on your computer. Your data never leaves your machine.
