ShowHN:Reddit-Style Comment Collapse for HN

[andrewheins]

Hi there,

Every time I read the comments here at HN, I always find myself wishing I could collapse the comments the way you can on Reddit, so I wrote a little script to add that functionality to the site.

Chrome Extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gcomokcpehnfjcegfilpfenjnjfkefpc

Greasemonkey Script: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/105251

I'm working on making a native Firefox extension, but it's a little more complicated than I expected.

The source is available here: https://github.com/andrewheins/HN-Comment-Hider

Clickable:

Greasemonkey: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/105251

On a related note, I'd pay money for an extension that compresses any forum thread to reddit/HN style comments and scraps avatars and signatures.

    Hmm... Good idea. I might work on that.

Thanks! Installed and rated. I've been wanting this for a while now.
