Most awesome userscripts in my experience are made for personal consumption. They are not distributed or documented. Some of the good ones I've made download so many pages from specific domains that it isn't sensible to share them. Some of them combine and implement ideas that could be made into bigger projects. Sharing those removes the opportunity.
But sometimes the tiniest tweaks are the best. Things like removing the points from HN so that it doesn't consume attention. Change "new" into "new threads" to make the link bigger. Hide logout. etc Perhaps one should release such one line scripts but I never did or see anyone do it.
I haven't updated it in 100 years but this was a fun concept.

bit of php, bunch of check boxes, out comes a site specific userscript (in this case wp) that hides all menu entries you don't want on a website.
One could offer it to the website audience. Lots of links need to be where they are but are never useful. If I for example need those in the HN footer (except from guidelines and list) I'm sure I can find them when the need arises.
- darekkay 5y agoI agree - I've been using (and writing) userscripts for an eternity. Most of them are public [1], but I don't know if others find them as useful. I like to enhance the design of websites I often use (like using a dark theme for HN), but those are rather subjective changes.

- vmoore 5y ago> Most awesome userscripts in my experience are made for personal consumption Same with me. Some of my userscripts are very personal and you don't need to be compelled to share one just because you put a lot of time and effort into it.
