Tell HN: I created a Delicious+Hacker News Chrome Extension

4 points

For the past 6 months, I completely abandoned Delicious for Hacker News. I figured the history of my upvotes was basically a replacement for what Delicious was offering me. Someday I figured I would write an app to search my HN history for good material. However, I just realized that I only have access to the past 7 pages' worth of upvotes (210 in total).

I have been losing links I thought were saved! I wrote this mashup extension as a quick solution that enables me to keep a permanent record of links I like here on Hacker News.

The extension works by popping up a save form every time you upvote. I plan to make it more subtle over time, but in the spirit of lean product design, I plan to live with this for a few days and decide what to do later on.

It is only about 15 LoC. Fork it on Github if it's useful to you!
