Show HN: Is It Greg?

(github.com)

I lent Greg a Minivac 601 for a week or so last month. He returned it in a big zippered bag, which I stole because it was pouring rain and I needed to bring the Minivac back to my car.

I was going to return it at the MIT swapfest in a week, but I think he can't make it anymore. Sorry Greg!

It's look interesting with his head icon

I’m obviously biased, but I’m also extremely grateful. Thank you!!!!

I haven't seen Greg's stuff before, but I discovered Disco through this, and it looks neat:

This is helpful but I'm worried about false negatives, are you working on more advanced greg detecting algorithms?
reply
I didn't know I needed this, thank you!!! Also, hi Antoine!

This is awesome! The idea can be generalized too:

- Highlight comments from a customizable set of particular authors

- Highlight commenters that reply within their subthreads

But of course, that loses some of the charm of working just for Greg :)

Was literally going to say this.

Hi Greg it's you!

Please don’t turn this into an e-celebrity twitter clone with all that circlejerking, it would be even better to remove the authors name, just whatever the content/comment is posted that matters, someone might like a post from an author but don’t like the other post, seeing the author might prevent proper criticism or add bias, an author-anonymous contents are the best.
