Show HN: A tool to streamline posting to Hacker News
Hey HN,
I'm here to announce a Chrome extension for specially for us.
With that, you can easily submit blog posts/articles/your_dog_picture to HN.
Use it, abuse it, and let me know what you think.
Cheers,
- pavel_lishin 3y agoI just use a bookmarklet: javascript:window.location="http://news.ycombinator.com/submitlink?u=%22+encodeURIComponent(document.location)+%22&t=%22+encodeURIComponent(document.title)
- abnerorlamunder 3y agoIt's the same idea behind the scenes, but the extension make it easier to use.
- amadeuspagel 3y agoI use another extension for this[1], which shows search results in a pop-up window, and also lets you submit a post from that pop-up window. Your approach of opening two tabs, one with the submission and one with the search results, is also interesting. One minor thing: I'd just use the HN favicon as icon. The extension I use uses a Y on an orange background with a talk bubble, which is also fine, but I'd still prefer just the HN icon. I'm not sure what the official policy here is, I think it would be great to make clear that it's OK to use that for browser extensions. When I make a chrome extension for a web app that I made, I obviously use the same icon for both, and you're only going to use one extension for one web app. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/what-hacker-news-says/khgegkjchclhgpglloficdmdannlpmoi?hl=de https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/what-hacker-news-sa...
