Hello everyone! This is a browser extension that attempts to enhance Hacker News user experience, while your data is kept secure, and private (never leaves the browser). Browsers have evolved significantly since doing a v1 back in 2010, which was one of the contributing factors, for attempting a complete re-take few months ago. Personally, I was surprised how useful it turned out to be when browsing around HN. On the linked page you can find install link(s) from web-browser stores, and demo video/screenshots of the features[1] What do you think ? [1] including, browsing content with…

Hello friends, It probably exists or someone made it before but I couldn't find it so I created one myself. I also noticed people check each other's profiles often so this might come in handy. Screenshot of the usage (ignore the red arrow it doesn't come with the extension): https://imgur.com/a/gvJ93ne This Chrome extension does one simple thing. If you want to check the user information listed in the profile including username, creation date, karma, and about. You just need to hover over the username. I was clicking on users before and it was a waste of time I thought…

I built this several months ago as I was interested to see how the titles of posts evolve/change on HN. It turns out lots of titles are edited every day (in both subjectively and objectively good and bad ways!) and I've found it interesting to see how titles have evolved. The whole thing is automated and is built around a Ruby script that pulls down the titles on the front page at a frequent interval. Any titles for specific story IDs that change get tracked and rendered out to a static HTML page hosted on Netlify. It runs by itself without incident so far. This has been on Show HN…

HN is great for the links people share, but a big part of the value I get comes from reading the discussion around them. I realized I was always opening the article in one tab and the comments in another, constantly switching back and forth. I figured there was probably a simpler way, so I threw together this userscript to merge the two. 1. Clicking a link from Hacker News opens the article with a side panel containing the discussion. It doesn't require your credentials, is resizable, and is easy to tweak if you want to customize it. 2. If you land on an article that has previously been…

Hi, I’m Kirubakaran. I’m building histre - a knowledge tool for individuals and teams. One of the features of histre is to auto-organize your knowledge. I thought that a fun way to demo that could be to apply that to the Hacker News front page. This page mirrors HN with tags automatically applied: https://histre.com/hn/ You can filter by or exclude multiple tags. For example, if you’re tired of posts related to ai and politics, this will remove them https://histre.com/hn/?tags=+all-ai-politics The tags for the posts are picked by gpt-3.5 You can get…
