  I have a number of dotjs scripts to enhance github as well; have you run into any issues since they turned on CSP? I haven't spent any time on it yet but some of them broke.

    On Chrome I did not (the dotjs works just fine). I had issues with HN bookmarlet[1] on Github on Firefox, but I just disabled CSP on FF (GitHub mentions that this is a bug in their implementation). [1] http://ycombinator.com/bookmarklet.html http://ycombinator.com/bookmarklet.html

Indeed, I created the original "letsmake/bettertogether" site and posted it here on HN around December 2012. It went to the front page, and I was hired by GitHub in 2013. A few Hubbers did see the site, but that is, of course, half the story, and I can honestly say that that wasn't the reason I got hired. I did also send in a resume weeks earlier, which did also get seen. It was the right place, the right time, and the right skills. I would suspect--and this is just my opinion--that anyone attempting to create a site to highlight suggestions won't impress anyone. It worked once, and you'll need your own way to stand out. Uniqueness is what's valued here, not number of HN points or comments. I'm going to mark my repo as Private to discourage copycats. I apologize for that.

  I remember seeing your original post in December. One of the comments/suggestions was about the Ace editor (and not being able to choose a theme). I ended up making this on that day: https://github.com/skratchdot/github-editor-theme.user.js https://github.com/skratchdot/github-editor-theme.user.js I have a few other user scripts that I like to use as well when browsing Github: https://github.com/skratchdot/github-repo-filter-info.user.js/ https://github.com/skratchdot/github-repo-filter-info.user.j... https://github.com/skratchdot/github-repo-counts.user.js/ https://github.com/skratchdot/github-repo-counts.user.js/ https://github.com/skratchdot/github-code-search.user.js/ https://github.com/skratchdot/github-code-search.user.js/ https://github.com/skratchdot/github-get-missing-descriptions.user.js/ https://github.com/skratchdot/github-get-missing-description...
