Earlier quoted context omitted.

Completely agreed on avoid Tampermonkey, but Violentmonkey fails to detect the page on one of my scripts very often. If I refresh it works. This is a match with no wildcards and just a simple path after the URL. Perhaps a simple bug, but doesn't give me much faith in the project.

That's interesting. To confirm, it doesn't appear in the 'Matched scripts' list when that occurs?

Yes that's correct, but I think it appears everytime with a refresh.

That's a shame, never happened to me, have you tried changing it to an include or adding a wildcard at the end? The project has been active for a very long time, I've been using it since it was only an Opera 12 extension, the developer seems very responsive, try reporting a bug.

I haven't tried that yet but I'll give both a try, thank you. I'm not giving up on it yet. Good to know they're responsive, I might look at fixing it myself.

I customized your script for myself and thought I'd share it - https://github.com/Meekelis/Hacker-News-Readability-Tweaks.

I included a link to your original repository in my README.md as it would have taken some effort to fork just one directory properly. Thanks for the script.
