To be a good calibration tool it might be worth allowing the user to specify a confidence interval before the number is revealed and store the guesses.

One of my feature requests! Just hard to do.

I really love this idea! Thanks for sharing this, I'm excited to try Calibrate.

Big fan of the concept! Unfortunately, Manifold seems too dynamic for this extension (using the extension seems to break our site very quickly) but I really like the idea of temporarily hiding our market % so you can form an opinion before placing a bet:

Using javascript it'd be pretty easy to dynamically hide/show numbers depending on whether or not the text is a member of a certain javascript class. In this case, the class of interest is "mb-0.5 mr-0.5 text-2xl" (which doesn't show up anywhere else on the main page).

More generally, the extension could allow users to mark numbers as "I want to see numbers that show up in places like this" or "I don't want to see numbers that show up in places like this" and then create a rule to show/hide all numbers in that class. If you create a central database of these votes, you can then extend this across users, so that when someone comes across a new website numbers that they want to see are shown automatically.

Of course, sometimes classes aren't enough, but in the case of Manifold it seems like it'd be sufficient (users could vote on whether or not to see text with the class "text-base text-red-500" and green (for recent shifts in market probability).

One downside to this approach is that it would break if the page updates its javascript classes, but if it's crowdsourced it would probably get fixed pretty quickly and only impact a minority of users.

Do you know how to do this kind of thing? I'd be happy to pay you for your time.

I haven't worked on any browser extensions before (not sure what language they're written in), but I do know javascript well enough. We can probably work something out!

Here's the git! https://github.com/SonOfLilit/calibrate?fbclid=IwAR2vBZ8IWfMgHTPla0CbohCUIqmrMUl-XEcYIWhKUrJ4ZRfH2Eg7Z7Zf1J4

we update our classes very frequently since this we use tailwind and iterate on the styles all the time

Feature request: some way to keep score. (Maybe a scoring mode that makes the black box an outline on hover and then clicking right=unscored, left-right=correct, and left-left-right=incorrect - or maybe a mouse-out could be unscored and left = incorrect and right = correct).

This is great!

Is there a firefox version? I use firefox for my main web browsing.

[-]Maxwell Clarke3y10

I just spent a couple of hours trying to make a firefox version but I have given up. It's a real pain because firefox still only supports the manifest v2 api. I realized I basically have to rewrite it which would take another few hours and I don't care that much.
