Ask HN: Any extension or script that lets you tag HN users?
There are lots of interesting people on HN. Is there a browser extension or script (TamperMonkey?) that lets you create a tag for particular user that is rendered next to their name each time it occurs on the page? I believe Reddit had/has this feature but I haven't used it in a long time so I don't know.
Doesn't have to be fancy, just something that works. Can save data in localStorage.
(not thoroughly tested, so use at your own peril. HN runs in quirks mode and there is some nasty global namespaced JS. If you have any issues, do let me know)

The tooltip that pops up can be quite off sometimes in terms of position, but otherwise it seems to work really well!
You should do a Show HN for sure!
EDIT: you're now tagged as "tag-legend"
I fixed a number of issues around styling, positioning, and some conflicts with HN's own JavaScript:

(Good idea, I'll do a little more testing and post a Show HN.)
Whenever HN changes it's HTML, CSS, Javascript, or code-generating code, it might stop working.
