My project is a top comment in Reddit's top story
I'd like to get some input on my project from the Hacker News community. The Reddit thread can be found here: http://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/j5bl3/can_whoever_makes_browsers_please_consider_adding/ The extension itself is located here: http://www.mutetab.com/ Basically, my project is a Chrome extension that attempts to provide browser-wide sound management to the extent possible within an extension.

What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
I'd like to get some input on my project from the Hacker News community. The Reddit thread can be found here: http://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/j5bl3/can_whoever_makes_browsers_please_consider_adding/ The extension itself is located here: http://www.mutetab.com/ Basically, my project is a Chrome extension that attempts to provide browser-wide sound management to the extent possible within an extension. It helps a user find what is making sound by identifying what is possibly making sound, allows automatically muting background sounds, and provides a context menu with sound management commands that will use JavaScript where available and otherwise hides elements from the page. It does not solve the more general "mute tab" problem -- if a plugin instance doesn't have a JavaScript API, then the only way I can mute it is by hiding it from the page (like Flashblock does). This is unideal because if it is a game or a video, hiding and reshowing it will restart it. I'm most interested in getting technical feedback (please read the FAQ since I mention some ideas that I haven't heard anyone discuss) but am also interested in feedback about how I am presenting things (what I'm doing might be too complicated for many users to understand) and general feedback.

I've been working on and off on a Chrome Extension for Hacker News, the extension focusses on improved usability rather than design. I can almost guarantee that after a day you won't want to go back to regular Hacker News. Give it a try, features include: - Improved readability - Quick inline replies from comments page - Quick profiles with social network info when hovering over usernames - Filtering of stories based on terms and phrases / domain or user - Endless scrolling - Collapsible comment threads - Social sharing for Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Buffer Forks, improvements and comments…

Link: http://www.gethackertools.com Hey guys, I love Hacker News like all of you do, I spend a good portion of my time reading interesting content and the best, your replies... My only gripe is extra functionality that I know PG doesn't want to have to deal with... So I came up with this idea to make a super extension that does all the things I want, plus merges all the other cool HN extensions into one... Only problem? I don't have much time to put into it, so I figured why not open source it, and allow anybody in the community to fork it, improve it, add functionality, whatever they want,…

I've been a longtime member @ HN, but I haven't been a developer. In fact, my only HN submission has been one asking how to learn to code (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=820741). My cofounder and I decided to solve the problem by making a simple, interactive way to get started with Codecademy. We'd love your feedback. If you're interested in helping us to get more courses up (on any topic!), please send us an email at [email protected].
