Show HN: Is It Greg?

github.com

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/

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 :)

Was literally going to say this.

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!

Well I'm even more 1000%%%%%% coming to the swapfest now!!!! My precious bag, haha.

Also, you are the most incredibly generous person for lending me that extraordinary piece of computing history!! I recorded its relay sounds and actual resistances. I truly cannot tell you how happy it made me.

Yes, even more greg stuff here, what the heck: https://minivac.greg.technology/

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 do love seeing my friend greg here

I was just talking about you in another thread!! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49690457

I didn't know I needed this, thank you!!! Also, hi Antoine!

Hi! HN is such a small world.

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.

It's look interesting with his head icon

Hi Greg it's you!

hope to get a greg collab on here sometime

haha, nice tool
