Show HN: Hide top story in HN by clicking a bookmarklet once you're done with it
1) Create a bookmark in your browser
2) Edit the URL and put this simple script in it :
javascript:(function(){[...document.querySelectorAll('a')].filter((e)=>{return (e.textContent==="hide")})[0].click()})()
3) Chose a title for the bookmark, something simple like "Hide First HN story" or an emoji like ️"️" (HN doesn't support emojis) check https://emojipedia.org/heavy-check-mark/ to see the emoji I'm talking about
4) Test if it works
5) Save time, Stop searching for the hide button with your mouse, just click a button that doesn't change it's position for every new top story in the list
6) (optional) Enjoy
7) (optional) Upvote and share with fellow hackers
- yagodragon 7y agoIs there any reason why should i hide the top story? Isn't it the point of HN to read interesting stories? I don't understand...
- julienreszka 7y agoOnce you're done with it. Hiding is an original feature of HN I didn't invent it, I just made it relatively easier to use.
- gus_massa 7y agoI usually reread the comments after 4 or more hour. Sometimes the new comments are interesting.
