aegabrielon Ask HN: What are you working on right now and why is it cool?

I make use of the chrome.tabs API which (in theory) could be used to store and track a user's browser history, which is why Chrome has started displaying these messages.

Of course the extension isn't actually doing this :). I'm using the chrome.tabs API as a way of communicating to individual tabs in Chrome. If you are interested the extension source is here: https://github.com/berrberr/streamkeys

aegabrielon Ask HN: Examples of good PHP code (entire projects) where can I find them?

Laravel is very well written and has some really cool stuff going on, particularily the IOC container. https://github.com/laravel/laravel

Streamkeys: http://www.streamkeys.com

It's a Google Chrome extension that lets you control a bunch of online music players using global hotkeys.

It's cool because it's open source! And there are quite a few contributors adding new sites to the extension which is great :). Also, people seem to like it and find it useful.
