A Chrome Extension for HN
Not to be a downer or anything, but do you think this would encourage voting cabals? If I noticed every post my friends added, I'd probably end up upvoting them quite a bit more, and perhaps quite artificially.
Source code here: http://github.com/bkudria/hackerfriends I'm still working on cleaning it up and refining it - this is my first ever Chrome extension, so go easy on me. Suggestions and patches/pull requests of course are super welcome.
(BTW I highly recommend anyone wondering about writing Chrome extensions to give it a go. The API and docs are stellar, and it's super-easy to get started.
Thanks, I've been wanting this feature. It's good I like it.
I'd rather the color of the friends names be the same orange as around the Y in the logo; it looks brighter on my monitor. And, I wish friends posts on the main page weren't quite as dark, and possibly not bolded. There, but more subtle.
Thanks again.
Oh damn... I thought it might be an extension to remove ipad and apple stories from the front page... although that could leave it pretty empty.
very cool. I like it.
