  "Now, Twitter is not a B2B company"

Awesome. Now they aren't, and when they decide they are? And speaking of acquisitions - well, they can essentially kill you willy nilly so you better settle for the price they want.

The dangers of sharecropping are well known around these parts, Twitter has squandered their reputation and has brought these things to the forefront of anybody who would consider building a business on top of their platform. It will not end well for them.

I agree that he should have asked first - just because something is on github does not make it open source. Seems like an oversight, no harm, no foul.

But I'm curios, why would you prefer he change it? It is a very barebones stylesheet, nice typographical choices but at the end of the day this is hardly a unique design.

And thank you for Flask and other goodies. :)

Thank you for making it. Chrome now insists that you install extensions and userscripts from their "Web Store" so the extension doesn't work.

The bookmarklet works great but can't retain state over page refreshes. This could be super useful otherwise.

One workaround that I've found around the new restriction is opening the "extensions" page in Chrome and simply dragging the downloaded crx file onto it. This should prompt an installation dialog.

That's what it tells you if you click the "Learn more" link:)

That did the trick, good tip. Between this extension and the hckr news highlight new comments extension one can finally be productive reading hn.

Waitaminute...

I didn't know about the Web Store requirement. I am on Firefox and I have some prehistoric version of Chrome that I use for testing Chrome stuff.

If anyone is willing to repackage the extension and submit to the Chrome Store, it'd be much appreciated.

Well, I'm not him but: probably starting from a zone file and narrowing it down to only whitelisted and "legit" domains would be a good start.

Maybe during the registration process more metadata should be demanded of people and anonymity prohibited or reduced. That way for example if you wanted a list of all the .com blogs it is just a grep away and tied into mostly real people for example. Corporate websites tied to their business entity with an EIN or something and verified. 'etc.

The thing is.. that ship has sailed a long time ago so we are stuck with google.

Please do write it up if you can, I'm interested. Thanks!

Fantastic, I will. It was my first foray into Go, too, so I might do a writeup on that too (spoiler: I quite liked Go).
