Hello. Would love to get your feedback! Here's my profile as an example. :) https://hackernews.club/hacker/profile/sideproject https://hackernews.club/hacker/profile/sideproject A few weeks ago, there was a Show HN post regarding GitHub profile widget - I always wanted to do a widget, so I was inspired by that post (and also, since the code was in GitHub, I heavily borrowed many of its ideas)

  Nifty! I added it to a couple of my websites :) I particularly like your font choice.

    Thank you! Since it's within HN's crowd, I wanted to find a nice "programming font" on Google Web Fonts. I'm using this. https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Inconsolata https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Inconsolata Other good "programming fonts" I found are Cousine - https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Cousine https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Cousine Droid sans mono - https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Droid+Sans+Mono https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Droid+Sans+Mono Roboto Mono - https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Roboto+Mono https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Roboto+Mono

  It would be great if you can put Top Comments as well

  Please type in a valid HN username

Nice. It's case-sensitive though. Also, everything appears as undefined if you type an invalid username. May I suggest an "Invalid username, case sensitivity matters" warning?

  Good picking! Will fix that up right now. Thanks! :)

This is very nice! Can you make it so that the Top Submissions links go to the HN discussions?
- sideproject 10y ago
  Thanks! Good idea - some people wanted to go directly to the link, but I might make both links available!

    I think no need for the external link, people will eventually find the link in the discussion title.

It seems to have become broken between your first post, and today? I tried the widget out again, and top stories now lists the top story, but then seemingly random other ones.
