@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.
This is super useful @neuling2k especially since usernames are not displayed on this page. I would have to mouse over or click throught to find what their actual username was to tag them. This makes is so much easier. 2 thumbs way up. ππ»ππ»
My PH comments usually look like this:
This is going to save me and others a lot of time. Thank you, @neuling2k! π

Where have you been all of my PH life? Though it didn't work just now trying to link to this post.
Well done @neuling2k π! Have you found you inspiration with that tutorial https://www.algolia.com/doc/sear...?
@alexandrecollin Thanks! Oh, wow. No i started from scratch ... how could i miss that tutorial π I started from here https://www.algolia.com/doc/java... Awesome documentation btw!
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
Happy mentioning,
Moritz@neuling2k this is cool :)
but I'll still never forgive you for the GIPHY integration
@bentossell thanks and sorry for the giphy extension π its not my intention to mess with your comments area ... just want to make it even better π
@joshdance @bentossell Someone is going to kill me if i tell you. *whisper* Related posts to your right at the top π
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?

@ankushdharkar @bentossell @rrhoover @katesegrin thanks for your feedback! hm good point. not sure why i did not implement it that way. you can finde the code here:
https://github.com/neuling/produ...
if you want, you can give it a try. feel free to create a pull request if you found a solution.
@noxowe As far is i know its not possible for a chrome extension. Therefore Product Hunt needs to integrant this feature by itself.
@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 :)
@_jacksmith for me it's almost completely broken π. It was even hard to type this message after tagging you
@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...
