Spot on! I want it to be trivial to make a greasemonkey script which adds people's small facebook profile photo into their news.yc profiles. Or add a feature which lets me share a news.yc story on anything that implements a share-link interface - say, with my facebook friends, or my twitter followers, without leaving news.yc. These things are possible right now, but doing them requires a lot of work, most of which would be duplicated (lots of html parsing, for example). How can we make it easier?

Here's another, if you want to get the gist of what I'm thinking: When I go to news.yc from my work browser, display any blocker bugs assigned to me in our internal bug tracking application on top of the stories, in bold. Again, this is doable in greasemonkey, but would should require a trivial amount of work with the right API's in place.
