    I built this around a year ago, but never really officially launched it. I got a reminder that the domain was about to expire and thought to myself "Why not post on HN and see what…

    I made a chrome extension a good while back that only ran on Facebook, I assume it still works. Here's the link if it helps: https://github.com/JamieFarrelly/zuckerberg-reactions/b…
