HN Card - Profile Overlay for HN

Available for Chrome and Firefox.

Screenshot of HNProfile

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.

HN Card is available for Chrome and Firefox. You would want to grab a copy from the appropriate extensions / addon store.

Why

I thought this feature would be cool on HN, so wanted to implement it but a quick google search led me to the above forked repository, but couldn't install on firefox

So this repo is simply an attempt to update the extension, and fix a few errors. All credit to Tim Davies
