I was quite inspired by Mustachio.me (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2878140 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2878140), and decided to take it one step further :) There's a Greasemonkey script linked off the site that replaces images in webpages automatically, much like their Chrome extension.

  Uh, I mean http://mustachify.me/ http://mustachify.me/

  It was somewhat overloaded a few minutes ago, but I just upgraded the instance and it's a lot more responsive now. Hopefully that holds it.

That looks suspiciously like my beard, for which I have just filed a patent application.

Cool! Your facebook like button and twitter button render wrong for me though. They get pushed underneath the picture. (Firefox 3.5.16)
- bieh 15y ago
  Hmm, they're supposed to be down the bottom of the page in the footer. Perhaps it doesn't render correctly in older Firefox, I'll have a look at it.

I kid you not, I have been in need of this exact service. Would you consider sharing the code? I have another beard-centric project idea that I'd love to see come to light.

  It's pretty rough, I hacked it together over dinner last night, then haphazardly bolted on a few more things this morning. I'm amazed it works as well as it does. Shoot me an email if you want the code regardless though - paul [at] bieh.net :)

This must solve for one of those "first world problems" I keep reading about.

Face.com api is amazingly powerful.

I would add one-click "beardify me" links for Twitter and Facebook. With some luck it could start a movement.

This is cool. Check out http://laserey.es/ http://laserey.es/ to see a more fun and intuitive UI.

Color for the last line of the page is pretty hard to read (dark blue on black background). Else it is pretty fun to use ! EDIT: you might wanna find a way to avoid NSFW pictures on front page (just had one ^^)
