Here's an idea that could address a lot of complaints here, and potentially be kind of fun:
Add an extra personal setting where you can input urls of javascript files that you'd like your home page to link to. All that news.arc has to do is drop these includes (just the reference, not the actual content) somewhere in the final html that gets returned.
For example, my version of the home page would have this in it:
<script src="http://mydomain.com/myscript.js"/>
Users would be free to make any updates they want to their own DOM, such as blacklisting unwanted domains. People could also share useful code snippets.
If this gets enough votes here I'll repost it on the features page (which looks surprisingly stale, are we still using this? http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=363 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=363).

- johnrob 16y agoThe only downside of greasemonkey is that you have to install it on each browser you use. By bolting it into news.arc it would always be there (assuming you're logged in).
