We have a browser extension that we use for moderation. A few of the features here overlap surprisingly with what that one does. One of these years I want to open-source it, but I need to factor out the moderation-only features, which is one of those tasks that never makes it to the top of the stack.

I wonder... at one point I wrote an extension (for the moderators) which had the ability to essentially follow users. Think of it as a news feed for HN. Really wish I could make that open source if no one is using it lol I use it personally to follow people on HN which post interesting comments (still works after 4 years with no edits)

Is that a question for us? I'm not aware of what you're referring to.

Related: I use http://hckrnews.com/ and since discovering it, I've never gone back to the HN main page. Might be useful as well to someone.

Same here, this is my go-to for Hacker News content now. But of course it's only a curator, it doesn't offer anything like what this refined-hacker-news project does.

Side note if author/host is reading: can you redirect HTTP to HTTPS? :)

It was, But the lack of knowledge of said system is probably indication it’s not being used :)

Would you consider adding "remove all integer counts" (karma, vote, comment, all of it)?

Interesting, since this is one of the feature that I had abandoned. I thought that such a feature would needlessly be a bit too aggressive if you get what I am saying. Nevertheless, in the "custom styles" input in the popup, you enter the following to blur out all points, comments etc: span.score, td.subtext a:last-child { filter: blur(3px) }

I don't get what you're saying, unfortunately.

He is saying you can already do what you want to do. His plug-ins let you add custom styles. The place where the custom styles go is inside a text box that appears when you click on the plug-in's icon.

Just copy the style he provides above, paste it in the custom style field, and it will blur the "integer counts" just like you asked!
