## One extension, one Greg
Is It Greg is a Chrome extension that highlights Hacker News submissions linking to greg.technology or any subdomain, plus anything posted by gregsadetsky himself.
## An orange badge with a face
Every match gets a small orange Greg badge carrying his photo, so you can spot him while scrolling the front page like any other story.

> Matches get a small orange Greg badge (with his face on it)
## Comments count too
It does not stop at submissions. Greg's comments get flagged in threads, and hovering any badge explains why that item was matched.
## He dances in the corner
When at least one Greg is on the page, he appears dancing in the bottom-right with a running tally. Click him and more Gregs fly across the screen.

## The count is a button
That little orange number is not decoration. Click it to jump straight to the next Greg sighting on the page.

> The little orange count is its own button
## Nothing to build
Open chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode, load unpacked. No build step, no dependencies, and no permissions beyond news.ycombinator.com.
