Neat! One feature I'd love to see is to follow/block users. Like this Chrome extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/hn-followblock/dkbn...

My experience would indeed be so much better with a content filter I can control, yes.

Also would be nice to be able store notes or short blurbs about usernames that will show up in the app. Maybe as a tooltip?

It is on my feature list for https://oj-hn.com as well.

I wonder how you think about trusting oj-hn as a vendor? The extension looks great.

I sympathize with the desire to release programs/code anonymously or semi-anonymously on the internet. I noticed you don't particularly tie the extension to any identity (unless I'm missing something).

Maybe extensions are more constrained than I realize. Specifically it looks like the manifest has "host_permissions: ['https://squeeze.oj-hn.com/*']," and then presumably the only leakable thing is private contact email or votes. Maybe the chrome api content of the tabs/history permissions also (seems silly for chrome not to scope that to the startUrls though?) Not 100% sure I'm understanding correctly though.
