About

This project is maintained as a hobby. All other obligations take precedence.

This is a work in progress, and Google+ is changing daily, which means I can make no guarantees. If you find something wrong or have suggestions, just post a comment in the discussions. I will make updates as I can

 

Also available as:   Google Chrome Extension


 

Other Features

  • Easy Mentions - [+] Button after names to easily mention them in comments (idea from http://goo.gl/hz11h)
  • Fixed Navigation - Pin the Google bar and other navigational elements (disabled by default)
  • Fade "post muted" - Yellow "Post muted" notices automatically fade out (enabled by default)

Credits

There are many existing script and extensions to tweak Google+. I do not claim to have come up with the ideas for all features, nor do I seek credit for work already done by others. If my code resembles the features or styles of previous work, it is because I have either borrowed heavily from existing designs, or have arrived at the same conclusions on my own.

If you feel I have missed someone in my credits, please tell me, and I will add them to the list.
