This and the BetterHN Chrome extension are alternatives to each other. BetterHN is automatic, but injects crap into pages you view. And, obviously, a bookmarklet is cross-browser.
Options are good. Thanks, marcua!
In a way, interesting, on the other hand I already have the "post to YC" bookmarklet installed.
Thanks! My problem is not being able to find a discussion that already exists. The "post to YC" bookmarklet would create a duplicate submission, so I needed something slightly different.
I don't think it creates a duplicate submission. If the site was already submitted, "Post to YC" amounts to an upvote instead.
like it. Quite useful. How about you open a new tab with the discussion thread, since that is why a user would click on the bookmarklet?
Thanks! I thought about that, but there might be multiple threads for that URL, so I wanted to let the user know there might be multiple. Should I open multiple tabs?
Can you open a single thread but give an index when there are multiple threads?
That's probably the balanced approach. I'll try to do it if I get some free time.
