alt Hacker NewsShow HN: Is It Greg?
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 lent Greg a Minivac 601 for a week or so last month. He returned it in a big zippered bag, which I stole because it was pouring rain and I needed to bring the Minivac back to my car.
I was going to return it at the MIT swapfest in a week, but I think he can't make it anymore. Sorry Greg!
This is helpful but I'm worried about false negatives, are you working on more advanced greg detecting algorithms?
I haven't seen Greg's stuff before, but I discovered Disco through this, and it looks neat:
I didn't know I needed this, thank you!!! Also, hi Antoine!
It's look interesting with his head icon
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 :)
Hi Greg it's you!
hope to get a greg collab on here sometime
Please don’t turn this into an e-celebrity twitter clone with all that circlejerking, it would be even better to remove the authors name, just whatever the content/comment is posted that matters, someone might like a post from an author but don’t like the other post, seeing the author might prevent proper criticism or add bias, an author-anonymous contents are the best.
haha, nice tool
I’m obviously biased, but I’m also extremely grateful. Thank you!!!!
