HNHalfLife's "new comment" indicator seems a little subtle to me. I like how HNCommentTracker makes the new comments really stand out. However, I like the saved page idea. (Will it indicate that there are new comments on your saved pages?) HNCommentTracker also shows new comments on the "threads" page. Does HNHalfLife do this?

The saved page is actually already provided by HN, but pg decided to bury it inside your profile where most people don't notice it. All my script does is prominently display the saved page on the navbar. And yes, it will indicate new comments on the "saved" page. The script basically stores a last accessed timestamp and number of comments. On the frontpage (and saved page, etc), it just checks to see if there are more comments than the last time you accessed the page. Unfortunately, it does not markup the "threads" page at all.
