This script adds a Winterbash hat-count to every user "Signature block" on questions, answers, review pages, etc. For example:
Reference this feature request: Show hat count in user card (next to badges).
This userscript requires an engine that supports both @require
and GM_xmlhttpRequest
. It was tested on Firefox + Greasemonkey and Chrome + Tampermonkey.
To install, click here (Hatoverflow.user.js install at Github).

Notes and known issues:
- No attempt is made to distinguish between users with no hats and users not participating in Winterbash.
- Results are cached for up to 2 hours. This is to avoid hammering the API and tempting the API developers to hammer back. A two-hour update rate is more than fast enough for hat coveting. ;)
- Uses the undocumented Winterbash API, so it's subject to change without notice.
- In some cases, the badge display might get clipped on the right side. This is "won't fix", for now.
- Only the standard, mostly static, signatures as found on: questions, answers, review pages, etc., are supported or modified.
