Show HN: I made a browser extension to translate random words to Japanese

After reading this yesterday, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46296863 ,

I wanted a slight alteration, so I made my own.

Basically it scans all the paragraphs of a page, replacing 5 words with Japanese Romaji. Those words have their colour changed and are bolded. When you hover over the changed word, a small popup shows the Hiragana and the English word.

At the moment it has a smallish list of words (111), all chosen to be basic level and (hopefully) unconfusing in their context.

I'm planning on pushing the word list out to about 1000, and having it cycle through 200 every week with an overlap.

Edit: a screenshot of it in action - https://freeimage.host/i/fldb3KB

It's also uploading to the firefox addon's store, but that's taking a while.

Just want to say that your link is a failure. When I first clicked on it gitlab wanted me to first clear the CloudFlare hurdle, then it wanted me to sign up, then it wanted me to verify my email address, then it wanted me to create a project before proceeding. All of which I did. I then came back to this page to click on your link again, which, now that apparently I am a member of gitlab, I can see results in a 404.

Ahh what the hell.. Thanks, I'll figure it out and repost (must work for me as I'm logged in). Should have checked on a private tab :s

Thanks for letting me know
