Userscript Integrates Hacker News Comments
HNewhere is a newly released userscript designed to enhance the browsing experience for Hacker News users. It allows individuals to view Hacker News discussions directly alongside the articles they are reading, removing the necessity of navigating to a separate tab or window for comments.
Functionality and Features
The userscript operates by detecting relevant Hacker News stories for the current article page. Once a match is found, it loads the associated comments into a resizable sidebar. Key features include automatic story detection, tracking of links opened from Hacker News, collapsible comments, and preservation of sidebar width. Reply links within the sidebar open directly to Hacker News.
Installation Requirements
To use HNewhere, users must first install a userscript manager such as Tampermonkey, Violentmonkey, or Userscripts (for Safari). After installing a manager, the HNewhere.user.js script can be installed or pasted into the manager. The script requires access to the Hacker News API and the HN Algolia search API to function correctly.
