Show HN: Is It Greg? | 5

Show HN: Is It Greg?

My friend Greg often posts incredible things he just made, just for fun.

Often, I don't realize that it's something HE made and then I see the URL, AND IT'S MY FRIEND, GREG!

A few things he made that I think are amazing:

- ikea complexity index: https://ikea.greg.technology/

- Boing: https://boing.greg.technology/

I want to make sure I don't miss anything from him, so I created this Chrome extension that flags things posted by Greg, or linking to his website or a subdomain.

I hope other people will install the extension and never miss anything Greg made. [antoineleclair]
