So in the future users can hide their username from others unless they meet a karma or account age requirement.

@alanhamlett is attempting to deploy a commit to the borisghidaglia's projects Team on Vercel.

A member of the Team first needs to authorize it.

Hey @alanhamlett,

Thank you for taking the time to make this PR!

Filtering based on these might indeed be something some users would want. However, this would mean that we'd have to create some sort of "real login" first (today the data is open). I'm aware of loginwithhn.com but didn't explore it yet.

Open to any other suggestions you might have!

Have the user include a random token in their HN profile temporarily to verify ownership, since you're already scraping the about text.

It's what I was using at first but it was a bit cumbersome.

But maybe you're right and there is no better choice. Thanks!
