@rrhoover Thanks! I think i remember some sort of autocomplete for user mentions in the early stages of Product Hunt comments? Or am i wrong?
My initial plan was to use your tech stack (react, ...) for this extension. So it can be used as a kick start for @andreasklinger and your dev team to implement this feature natively. But unfortunately the way chrome extension extend the existing DOM its not possible so i had to do it the old way.
@rrhoover Can we expect something like this for user suggestion too :D ---- Update: Oops I didn't see with this we can even search for users my bad ! :)
Hello Hunters,
when commenting on Product Hunt i often found myself mistyping usernames or opening new tabs and searching for products i want to refer. Thats where the idea came from to build an Chrome Extension which help you search for users and products inside the comment area.
As you would normally do start typing @ followed by the username. An autocomplete filled with suggestions will show up. The extension makes it also easier to link to other products. Just start typing # followed by the product you are looking for.
Happy mentioning,
Moritz
@jackdweck Yeah! Looking forward to your next weekly collection 😉

@neuling2k This is so so cool, although I havn't tried it yet. Do you have any plans to open source the project? :P Just asking... This would help to learn making html css extension and see which PH APIs you have used. :)
@lifeis2complex Thanks! And yes, here you go: https://github.com/neuling/produ...
Feel free to ask my anything about it. But be warned its not the cleanest code and probably not a nice start vor beginners.
Btw i don't use the Product Hunt API instead i collect the data directly from Algolia. Details here: https://github.com/producthunt/p...
@noxowe the product hunt iphone app already has some auto complete functionality (at least it did when I tried it yesterday), it broke the rest of the comments functionality for me though :)
@noxowe yep: @rrhoover the commenting on ios is pretty broken. for me i would type one letter then the keyboard would disappear, had to press to get it back. so could only type one letter at a time!
