Self-like detector for tweets!
This Chrome extension detects tweets that have been liked by their own authors, and highlights them with shiny self-love medals!
Built for fun by @daniguardiolame.

# It stops working randomly, fix it you lazy f%#k!
It's not my fault, it's Twitter and their rate-limiting policy.
# It doesn't work if I'm not logged in!
Yep. Can't do anything about it. Sorry.
## How to look under the hood
Other than reading the code itself, you can enable three debugging options that I baked in. To do this, you need to open the devtools console, and switch to the extension content ("Egolatron" instead of "top" in the dropdown). Then, execute the following:
- For detailed logs: `_egolatron.setLog(true)`
- For detailed stats: `_egolatron.setStats(true)`
- For debug styles: `_egolatron.setDebug(true)`
To disable, pass `false` instead.
Enabling debug styles will also enable logs and stats, overriding their individual settings. The debug styles will show a blue border for tweets that are being analyzed, green for tweets confirmed to not be 'self-liked' and red for 'self-liked' tweets (this will replace the fancy styles with the animated medal).
## Where to find the code
Just check the "extension/content-script.js" file in the GitHub repo (link at the top).
