Show HN: I was tired of opening 2 tabs for every HN link, so I made a userscript

#142The thing I like most about your post is it has prompted me to read an example of a user script. Thanks! In the excludes, did you mean *.bank.com, or *bank.com? Or maybe even *bank*.*!
I've been trying to think through a schema that would work universally, but so far it's proven tricky to not over-bias and risk blocking a legitimate use case.

#143I (very) often just read the discussion on HN and don't open the links, usually just by reading the title I know what's it about and the content I receive from the discussion here, plus I get any corrections y'all find along with needed skepticism, doubts and questions.
I feel similarly. That's actually why I started messing around with a feature where HN comments dynamically annotate the target website. It lets you read the article while seeing exactly where users commented on a particular aspect, sort of like GSuite or Google Docs comments.

#144This is how reddit supposed to be. A universal comment box for del.icio.us
I’d love if there were different “layers” of meta discussion on top of everything on the web. Every blog and website would have an untold number of communities having discussions that are completely optional for you to view. Instead of browsing across sites, you’d be browsing across communities seeing the same site.
I've been working towards building out functionality close to what you're describing. As a first feature, I added annotations where the script looks for HN comments quoting parts of the article and adds a highlighter effect. It lets you instantly see what parts of the text people are actually interested in. It's still a rough beta, but I'm actively working toward that exact vision.

#145Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yeah Firefox split view is useful for this. If any of those vim extensions support link+split, and allow interaction with splits that would be even better.
Apparently Firefox needs to add an API for it first: https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/issues/5349
there's now a proposal for it https://github.com/w3c/webextensions/pull/1019/changes so it will probably appear eventually.

#146I would use a HN web browser with this built in, also with easy tools to comment or submit a URL you’re currently on.
I know it could be just Chrome extensions but why not a whole new browser that also enforces the “bookish” aesthetic by default and is designed around reading articles.
Feel like if you did wrap Chromium and got HN users using it, the Extensions would be a lot more active and exciting as many Show HNs could be one

#147Thanks again for the feedback everyone!
I've made quite a few improvements from the original version over the past few days, but unfortunately the OG version I released didn't specify the @updateURL or @downloadURL so you may not automatically get updated if you installed when I first posted this.
And as always, if you find any bugs or have any additional feedback, please report at https://github.com/twalichiewicz/HNewhere/issues

I started working towards this goal in the latest release: you can now add Reddit as a source, so now when you visit a URL it will check across all subreddits where it's been posted and give you a blended discussion made up from everyone's comments.
