Product Hunt

So so cool, @neuling2k. We've wanted to build this for a loooong time (we even have mockups) but haven't gotten around to prioritizing it.

@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.

@neuling2k yes, we used to have @mention autocomplete. We lost it after a refactor of this page and haven't added it back yet.

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

@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...

Awesome work @neuling2k! This has been a point of annoyance for me. Thank you for solving it. You rock! Can the extension be modified so that mentioning a full name also shows up in autocomplete. Like "Ryan Hoover" instead of just "Ryan"( since there can be so many people having the same first name) Also, do you have a github repo for this? cc @bentossell @rrhoover @katesegrin
