Show HN: Bookmarklet to Visualize Hacker News Polls (eike.se)

On a related note, I just created a bookmarklet to collapse comments. http://jaekwon.net/hncollapse.html


Also on a related note, I created a Greasemonkey script that allows you to navigate through the comments chronologically, using the right and left arrow keys. It helps with the problem that, once a thread becomes mature, it's hard to find the latest comments that were added.

Since this has kind of turned into a "post your bookmarklets" thread, I'll add mine into the mix:

https://gist.github.com/1293929

It searches for specific usernames in a comment thread (replicating the ctrl+f 'by $username' trick that stopped working when the comment-header syntax changed to hide comment karma), then scrolls to the next result every time you re-click it. You choose the usernames to search for by editing the query variable in the bookmarklet.

Would be great if someone made a list of the best (or all) HN bookmarklets and Greasemonkey scripts

Add your hack here: http://bit.ly/r2BrjG


Would be great if you could turn it into a greasemonkey script so that it would be run automatically.

Unfortunately, my chrome bookmarks bar is completely filled up with other bookmarklets like this.


Great work on this bookmarklet. Looks great, and thanks for contributing to making HN better :)


when I try to drag it to my bookmarks bar chrome crashes!


Shameless plug:

I love the simplicity of HN polls, but if you use GoPollGo, you can see votes segmented by different countries/states/district. Soon we'll be adding the ability to split votes by age/gender/browser/os/referring website.
