Deprecated: This project is deprecated. Finally, Hacker News has added this feature natively to its site.
Browser extension for collapsing Hacker News comment trees. Adds a collapse button to comments.
To install the Safari extension, open the hackernews-collapse.safariextz extension file. To install the userscript, open hackernews-collapse.user.js in Tampermonkey (not tested with Greasemonkey).
Existing tabs need to be reloaded before using the extension.
Based on a bookmarklet by Alexander Kirk. Changes to the original script:
- Show collapse symbol on the left
- Align collapse buttons vertically
- Option to hide number of child comments when collapsing
- Fix for various layout problems where comments change their position on collapsing
- Other bug fixes
