Thanks for this, love it!

Have slightly modified the script to include the ‘Hey!’ in the script, thereby getting around the issue of showing the ‘Hey!’ if name is blank:

```plaintext
<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8.18">
    api.onPageChange(() => {
        if(api.getCurrentUser() != null) {
            if(api.getCurrentUser().name.split(' ')[0] != "") {
                $("#logged-in-user").text("Hey " + api.getCurrentUser().name.split(' ')[0]+"!");
            }
        }
    });
</script>

```

I’ve used this shorter greeting in a more discrete spot at the side of my site banners, just above the avatar.
