I was quite inspired by Mustachio.me (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2878140), and decided to take it one step further :)

There's a Greasemonkey script linked off the site that replaces images in webpages automatically, much like their Chrome extension.

It was somewhat overloaded a few minutes ago, but I just upgraded the instance and it's a lot more responsive now. Hopefully that holds it.

This must solve for one of those "first world problems" I keep reading about.

Cool!

Your facebook like button and twitter button render wrong for me though. They get pushed underneath the picture. (Firefox 3.5.16)

Hmm, they're supposed to be down the bottom of the page in the footer. Perhaps it doesn't render correctly in older Firefox, I'll have a look at it.

Thanks for the mention! :)

I would add one-click "beardify me" links for Twitter and Facebook. With some luck it could start a movement.

Color for the last line of the page is pretty hard to read (dark blue on black background). Else it is pretty fun to use ! EDIT: you might wanna find a way to avoid NSFW pictures on front page (just had one ^^)

I kid you not, I have been in need of this exact service. Would you consider sharing the code? I have another beard-centric project idea that I'd love to see come to light.

It's pretty rough, I hacked it together over dinner last night, then haphazardly bolted on a few more things this morning. I'm amazed it works as well as it does.

Shoot me an email if you want the code regardless though - paul [at] bieh.net :)

That looks suspiciously like my beard, for which I have just filed a patent application.
