A tiny Chrome extension that highlights Hacker News submissions linking to
greg.technology or any of its subdomains, as well
as stories and comments posted by Greg himself (gregsadetsky).
Matches get a small orange Greg badge (with his face on it), and Greg turns up dancing in the corner of the page with a tally of how many of him are on it.
What it looks like
Greg sweeps the front page, flagging stories that link to greg.technology or that he submitted:
His comments get flagged too:
Hovering a badge explains itself, with Greg dancing alongside the reason:
And whenever there's at least one Greg on the page, he turns up dancing in the bottom-right corner. Click him and he throws more Gregs across the screen. The little orange count is its own button — click that to jump to the next sighting on the page.
(With "reduce motion" turned on he holds still, and the thrown Gregs fade in and out where they land instead of flying.)
