Great plugin. I primarily use http://hckrnews.com to browse HN submissions ( a lot IMO ) and its extensions for Safari: http://hckrnews.com/about.html Both have great ideas, and I think pg should adopt one of them (though I know he won't). I hate it when I use my iPad for browsing HN. Comments are small, up/down-vote arrows are minuscule, and you can't use these highly-useful plugins. And I've tried about a dozen dif…

Oh my, this is so good. Domain registered in 2010, how long has hckr news been out?

I always wonder why Hacker News is not developed as an open source project. This seems like a natural approach for such community, especially taking into account that pg has no time/interest to drive it himself.

It is open source: http://arclanguage.org/install

Though, I doubt pg accepts "pull requests" or anything. He likes the site the way it is, apparently (I don't like HN to have a million share buttons either, but I do want a few things added that would make life for thousands of HN visitors much easier).

I actually just uninstalled this the other day. It annoyed me that clicking on someone's username wouldn't take me to their profile page, and not only that but there was no longer any way to get there.

This doesn't happen to me and it just shouldn't happen (I don't change the username in any way). Did you see this consistently? It's very odd.

Ahh I think I was actually thinking of the HN chrome extension Autobahn, which also has the tagline "save time on Hacker News."

Cool! I especially like the "collapse comment threads", that's the one thing i really miss on this site.

I second this. It seems to make it easier for me to follow conversations if I can collapse threads I've already read as well as threads that don't look like they interest me.

Autobahn for Hacker News has always allowed you to disable or enable any feature separately, including the User Profile overlay, as the launch video, official page, and this screen shot shows since July 4th.

Autobahn also has hundreds of daily unique users and launched on July 4th with the headline "Save Time on Hacker News." If you want to ban stories and see full subdomain names, get it today! http://vlad.github.com/autobahn/

In case there is any confusion, Autobahn for Hacker News launched on July 4th with hundreds of unique daily users using the slogan "Save Time on Hacker News", so I ask this author to come up with another tagline to avoid confusion.

With Autobahn, you truly save time: you can ban stories by domain name, see full story domain names, and view user profiles in an overlay with a twitter button and picture, so you don't have to click the back button; also, profile links and e-mails are clickable as well, so you don't have to copy-paste!

If you only want some of these features, simply uncheck the ones you need using the options panel: http://vlad.github.com/autobahn/img/autobahn-options-google-...
