See the current home page status of a post on Hacker News
This is especially useful if you are publishing a post, and would like to track its current ranking, without constantly searching for it.
You can install the Chrome extention, by downloading it from the Chrome Web Store.
Access a post page, for example by clicking on the comment(s) number (or "discuss") link, under a post name, from HN homepage
(date, or direct link work as well).
When on a Hacker News post page (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10014045), a new "show status" link will be added.
Click on this link in order to display the current article's position
If the post is no longer on HN homepage, "absent" will be displayed
To update the current position, simply reclick on the "home position" link.
That's All Folks!
