HN Card lets you quickly glance at a user's profile without leaving the page you're on. You can quickly see a user's bio, karma, account age - plus quick links to their comments and submissions. Plus, if they have an email address or Github account in their bio (providing they've set up a Gravatar or Github avatar), you'll see their avatar too.

This is a nice project — I'm glad that you posted this because I've never read source code for browser extensions before.

With that, after looking through hnprofile.js and am curious if you had a roadmap in mind for improving it? These two things came to mind:

- Adding localstorage for caching info from each fetch, adding last-visited etc

- Adding formatting options for the drop

I'm interested in adding support for the first item if you'd like contributions. You can email me if you'd like to chat.

Hey, thank you. Looks like the submission has been flagged already, so don't know whether its still going to be relevant to HN users, but I'm gona email you. Thank you.
