Hi folks,<p>I wrote a browser extension that highlights/tags the posts from your favorite HN’ers.<p>Go to the profile of someone and assign a tag to the user. All future posts from that user will be marked/tagged on HN going forward. It is super easy and will help you follow your favorite people in HN.<p>Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/social-cat/hhiomokjlngphblpfnccjckmkcpjjfmb<p>Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/tr/firefox/addon/social-cat/<p>Cheers
This would be better as a Show HN post :)<p>P.S. I built something very similar years ago: <a href="https://github.com/veggiedefender/hn-friends" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/veggiedefender/hn-friends</a>
This would be better as a site (not a chrome extension– too much friction) that lets you follow your favorite HN users and see their posts, filtering by score optionally.<p>"Favoriting" a comment or HN post on HN ( a native HN feature ) could automatically follow the user. Just enter your username and go.
