Reminded me a lot of Greasemonkey for FF.
greasemonkey scripts also work in chrome.
greasemonkey for chrome doesn't support the full thing
@require for example
Dotjs — hack the web

Re: Dotjs — hack the web
#62Why does this need OSX?
It seems like a pretty trivial little hack - I think the only reason it really requires OS X is to launch the toy web server that serves the scripts.

#63I've sneakily been using this for months on Hacker News itself- I just .hide() stories past around story #15. More signal, less noise. And it's just jQuery, so it's really easy to whip up. Bonus points for it being so easy to share, too: https://github.com/holman/holman-js/blob/master/news.ycombin...
Same here. Mine: 1) sniffs out urls in submissions and auto-links them 2) adds comment thread folding. https://github.com/sant0sk1/dotfiles/blob/master/js/news.yco...
Re: Dotjs — hack the web
#64Umm.. is there a way to run it on windows :( ?
Looks like you'll have to modify the Rakefile to use whatever Windows uses to launch the webserver. If you don't have ruby, you could probably write one in your local language of choice.
Re: Dotjs — hack the web
#65I think the ruby web server is not necessarily needed, simply change the dotjs.js's content to
$.get(chrome.extension.getURL("script/"+window.location.hostname+".js"), function(script){ eval(script); });
it will look for the js file in the extension directory instead of the local ruby web server, and this should work for any platform. To take the ~/.js convenience, a symlink in *inx system or shortcut in window will do the job.
