Reroot

Reroot is an extension for chromium based browsers that injects content when the user visits twitter.com, allowing them to post to lens protocol and twitter at the same time.

This project is an attempt to bootstrap the twitter userbase into the Lens ecosystem by making it convenient and comfortable to use for the average twitter user.
