Anyone else not want to read any of this comment thread because the first thing you see is how it descends into a discussion of the GPL? Please, it's like politics and religion. Is it possible to just talk about the software itself? I'm sure there are some great comments hidden in there, but I'm not willing to slog through the mess to find them.
In other news, I downloaded Light Table and I'm willing to give it a shot.
- deevus 13y agoI share your exact sentiment. It would be good if HN had thread collapse.

- rayshan 13y agoHacker News Enhancement Suite [1] is pretty great with collapsible comments, even shows you new comment count after you revisit home page. Styling may be a personal taste thing though.

- mercer 13y agoNot only does it show new comment count, it highlights the unread comments in the thread itself. I've become so reliant on HNES that I avoid accessing hacker news on other devices (and when I have to, I use hn.premii.com).
- speg 13y agoI didn't read this thread all day for that reason. Now I'm at home with my tablet and can swipe to collapse that giant swath of gibber-jabber.
