Damn... I've been working on a userscript to do, well, pretty much what this does; I'd completed thread folding, and was just getting stuck into AJAXy "more" links and reply forms.
Oh well, time for a new hobby project.
[edit: Incidentally, do you find the tables-within-tables-within-tables structure of HN, with some arbitrary variations between pages, as infuriating as I do? Or am I doing something wrong?]
- tommoor 14y agoThat's all part of the fun ;-)
- EvilTerran 14y agoI've been awfully tempted to have my userscript just completely rip the page layout apart & re-assemble it properly as styled divs, actually. I might still do that.
- etcet 14y agoAs someone who just wrote their own extension for HN, I think that's the right way to go about things. Tables are such a pain in the ass and I there were multiple times where I had to talk myself into 'staying the course' and just getting it done rather than starting from scratch with a more sane approach. I think if you could create a nice minimalist table-parser base it would be useful for any future browser extensions.
- EvilTerran 14y agoActually, that's really a rather good idea. I'll be sure to Show HN when it's done!
