Interesting find. I could use this idea in Stylebot (http://stylebot.me). It's a Chrome extension that allows you to live edit a custom stylesheet for any page on the web.

That'll be nice. Inspiring stuff!

Thanks for the amazing feedback! Lots of great ideas! I'll definitely try implementing some of them in future versions.

As far as sharing is concerned, you're right, it'll definitely add a lot of value to Stylebot. But, as you pointed out, it is important to be careful while building such a site. I want there to be some form of curation so that I can keep it minimalist and it doesn't degenerate into userstyles.org (which is a nice place to share styles, but it is so hard to search for good ones there!) Maybe a user up/down voting system.

For the same reason, it'll take some thought and time to build this. I also want it tightly coupled with Stylebot, so that it is easy to install/share styles without too much effort. I'll definitely take a shot at this whenever I've some free time. It'll be great to have other developers jumping in! :)

I don't really like the design of that site. Also, I will like to keep it closely tied with stylebot so it is easy to share/install styles.

You can export all your custom styles into a JSON file for import. Also, you can copy a site's custom CSS created using Stylebot.

Currently, there is no repository for sharing designs. In the future, definitely!

Maybe also a page featuring all the best styles from around the web and provide their CSS.

Here is the HN custom CSS from http://stylebot.me/examples.html:

Here are a few examples: http://stylebot.me/examples.html

Love the simple, clean design without any distractions. Great idea too. Are you manually adding the quotes/vidoes?

If it's possible to do it in a very subtle manner (footer?), maybe a small tweet icon would be nice (for quotes add the quote to tweet, for videos add the video link)

This might make it a bit too complicated.

That's a crazy but a very useful feature request. Wish it was easier and a little less time-consuming to implement.

Maybe someday... :)

#1 - What do you mean by deleting an ad? Do you mean to hide an element on a page whenever that page is opened? I'm not sure how the inspect command will work, though.

#2 - Makes sense.

Thanks. The default behavior of gleeBox is to search for links when you enter any text.

So, you can simply enter a part of the text of the link you want to go to. If multiple links have the same text, you can TAB your way to the right link. You don't need to use ?a.

gleeBox and vimperator differ a lot in the way they work even though their core functionality is the same, that is to aid in navigation.

And, with gleeBox, you can do a lot more like search bookmarks, execute bookmarklets, yubnub commands, etc. Plus, I think it is more easy to use for the non-vim junkies :)

That sounds useful. We'll think about it. Thanks!

We actually tried to implement the #1 feature. But, as it turns out, there is no easy way of doing that via JavaScript. It definitely would've been awesome.

For #3, we experimented with a hyperglee mode. In that mode, gleeBox shows up automatically when you open a page. It actually exists but is an undocumented feature (since we weren't completely satisfied with the results) :)

In Chrome, you can turn the hyper mode on/off by executing '!set hyper=on/off'. Doesn't work too well in Firefox, though.

Thanks! Makes sense to avoid multiple keystrokes wherever possible. Maybe in a future version we could do this.

We'll love any feedback. Thanks!
