Narcikarma is a Google Chrome extension for keeping your karma progress here at Reddit right on the Chrome toolbar. It was written by badmonkey0001.
At a glance you can check your narcissistic progress, meaning you can stop using F5 as a weapon to see if you've been upvoted (saving finger strain, keyboard wear-and-tear, and perhaps time from Reddit being overloaded).
- Simple, out-of-the-way, and easy to use.
- Doesn't conflict with RES or any other Reddit-centric extensions.
- Two icon lines of configurable display. Each line can show gained/lost link karma, gained/lost comment karma, or status flags about your account.
- Popup panel featuring karma totals, cake day and user flags (mail, mod, mod mail, gold).
- Configurable refresh interval.
- Configurable icon colors.
- Open Source - do you want to contribute?

- Is Narcikarma Open Source?
- Yes. It's GPLv3
- The other tools used by Narcikarma have their own licenses. They are listed in the credits.
- Can you add a(nother) icon/textbox/image/graph/readout?
- No. For good reason, Chrome limits each extension to a single 16x16 toolbar icon as far as the main window goes. This helps them avoid the malware toolbar hell that other browsers are prone to.
- Can you report what links/comments got upvoted?
- With a lot of work, probably. The thing is, I don't want to do that work. It would severly complicate the extension and make it far less lightweight. You should go to Reddit sometime right?
- I saw a UTM pixel. Are you gathering analytics? Private information?
- I'm not gathering any private information. I don't want to know anything about you. I don't log your username. I don't log what you look at, where you go, what you comment or anything like that.
- I do gather usage stats to aid me in development. For example, I log that someone (I know not who) changes a default setting to some other option. I log when some errors occur. I log how many people upgraded to the latest version.
- Please feel free to examine the source code or the console to verify this.
