Browser extension
A YouTube companion side panel for reading and posting timestamped receipts, right next to the video.
What the extension does
The Vid Receipts browser extension adds a side panel to YouTube. Open a video and the panel shows that video's receipts right next to the player: timestamped notes the community has pinned, a timeline you can click to jump to any of them, and the same voting and comments you'd find on the site.
You can read every public receipt without an account. Sign in to add your own, vote, or comment.

What's different from the web app
The extension is a focused companion, not the full site. It covers reading and posting receipts, voting, commenting, feed switching, and Surprise Me. For everything else, account settings, billing, personas, and business teams among them, open vidreceipts.com in a regular tab; the panel links out to the site wherever it makes sense.
