- michaelschade 15y agoYou can install it by grabbing the user script: https://raw.github.com/michaelschade/hnpc/master/src/hnpc.user.js https://raw.github.com/michaelschade/hnpc/master/src/hnpc.us... Here are two pictures showing it in action: * https://github.com/michaelschade/hnpc/raw/master/examples/posts.png https://github.com/michaelschade/hnpc/raw/master/examples/po... * https://github.com/michaelschade/hnpc/raw/master/examples/comments.png https://github.com/michaelschade/hnpc/raw/master/examples/co...

- michaelschade 15y agoI can't seem to get the extension to work (package not valid). It looks neat, though. Detecting and highlighting new comments was my original functionality, and I added the post list highlighting as an after-thought when I couldn't find something similar through a quick search. Thanks for sharing it.
- btw0 15y agoThanks for pointing out the problem, I'll look into this.
- tkahn6 15y agoI wrote one of these as well as a Chrome extension a few months ago. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/kikfikaiccdaabdilgpbcceionekdegl https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/kikfikaiccdaabdilg... Additionally, it will highlight edited comments in grey or any color of your choosing (simply md5's the comment text and checks to see if it's changed next time you load the page).

- tagawa 15y agoNice script - very useful. I made it into an Opera extension: https://addons.opera.com/en/addons/extensions/details/hnpc https://addons.opera.com/en/addons/extensions/details/hnpc
- michaelschade 15y agoSweet! I've updated the README to note the existence of your extension. Thanks for the contribution!
