This is a chrome extension which adds a user tagging feature to Hacker News (news.ycombinator.com). You can specify a tag for a user and then that tag will appear next to their username in comments and posts.
- The tags are specified in a JSON block that you can edit by clicking the extension tile
- The JSON block is totally freeform - the code only looks for specific fields - which allows you to add any sort of other data (basiclly any sort of notes)
- The tags are saved in chrome sync storage (if you have that enabled) so they'll automatically show up on all chromes you're logged in to
Below is the format the extension expects:
{
"USERNAME1":{
"tag": "TAG_TEXT"
},
"USERNAME2":{
"tag": "TAG_TEXT2"
},
}
However, this is also a fully valid block that will be saved and loaded (although only Alice and Eve will be tagged):
{
"Alice": {
"tag": "git genius",
"note": "very friendly!"
},
"Bob": {
"projects": "example.com"
},
"Carol": {},
"Eve": {
"tag": "eavesdropper",
"favorite_number": 22,
"cool_projects": [
"example.com",
"example.com"
]
}
}
