Show HN: Is It Greg?

19•antoineleclair•48m ago
My friend Greg often posts incredible things he just made, just for fun.

Often, I don't realize that it's something HE made and then I see the URL, AND IT'S MY FRIEND, GREG!

A few things he made that I think are amazing:

- ikea complexity index: https://ikea.greg.technology/

- Boing: https://boing.greg.technology/

I want to make sure I don't miss anything from him, so I created this Chrome extension that flags things posted by Greg, or linking to his website or a subdomain.

I hope other people will install the extension and never miss anything Greg made.

I’m obviously biased, but I’m also extremely grateful. Thank you!!!!

This is awesome! The idea can be generalized too:

- Highlight comments from a customizable set of particular authors

- Highlight commenters that reply within their subthreads

But of course, that loses some of the charm of working just for Greg :)
