Adds reddit-like [+] and [-] links to collapse and expand comment threads.

Good job. It was very slow the first time I reloaded a page (this one), but after that it was fine, regardless of how many comments. Simple and unobtrusive, and something I have wanted for a while.

This is great! There are so many of these HN related projects/websites/tools out there that get lost after they hit the front page, I'm wondering if there's a directory of everything? I asked today but didn't get any feedback: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1987756

This is great. I usually don't want to read a whole subthread because of location higher in the page.
