Ask HN: URL-To-Comments?

2 pointspsyklic2 comments

Is there an easy way (e.g. bookmarklet) to retrieve the comments page for a given URL?

I frequently click on articles to read, then I want to read the comments. Currently, I need to go back to HN and find the article I just read, which is rather inconvenient.

Thanks!

The Hacker News OnePage Greasemonkey script ( http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/30512 ) or the SplitView Greasemonkey script ( http://www.nirmalpatel.com/web.html#splitview ) for a split view of the story & comments may help you.

It's not mine, I don't know how it works, sometimes it goes wrong, but I think it's worth investigating. It seem to be a problem several people have had a go at solving.

No idea what terms to search for to find previous discussions on it, though. Perhaps bookmarklet and greasemonkey.
