Show HN: I Created a Chrome Extension for PG: TRAB (Tweet Reporter and Blocker)

42 pointsby impish19about 3 years ago
A few days ago I saw this tweet from PG: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;paulg&#x2F;status&#x2F;1496549841912094733" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;paulg&#x2F;status&#x2F;1496549841912094733</a> ...and guessed it shouldn&#x27;t be too hard to make a chrome extension to do this (I had never made a chrome extension before)<p>So I took a stab at it - took me a bit over a day to make it, and it was fun to put together.<p>I responded to his tweet with the link to the extension but I&#x27;m not sure if he would&#x27;ve seen it.<p>edit: Looks like I missed the approval notification for the listing of this extension on the chrome store: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chrome.google.com&#x2F;webstore&#x2F;detail&#x2F;trab-tweet-reporter-and-b&#x2F;bahkpblcfiffamfljnfjeablplgnjnkg?hl=en-US" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chrome.google.com&#x2F;webstore&#x2F;detail&#x2F;trab-tweet-reporte...</a>

What does PG stand for in this context?

Would you expand this to allow reporting of bots and manipulated accounts? I&#x27;ve seen a <i>ton</i> of false reports about the RU invasion of UA from recently-created accounts this week.

Very cool - also great Github page showing it in action.

Thanks for doing this. Have you considered making it open source (FOSS)?
