Show HN: Is It Greg?
2 hours ago (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/
- 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.
It's look interesting with his head icon
I haven't seen Greg's stuff before, but I discovered Disco through this, and it looks neat:

I’m obviously biased, but I’m also extremely grateful. Thank you!!!!
This is helpful but I'm worried about false negatives, are you working on more advanced greg detecting algorithms?
I didn't know I needed this, thank you!!! Also, hi Antoine!
Hi! HN is such a small world.
i usually go to gcombinator for my greg updates

I do love seeing my friend greg here
I was just talking about you in another thread!! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49690457
hope to get a greg collab on here sometime
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.
Hi Greg it's you!
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.
