Ask HN: When were flagged submissions/comments added to the profile page?
Since lots of people are accidentally flagging on mobile and I'm currently revisiting my Hacker News extension and adding a Safari version, I'm adding something which will let you choose your preferred solution for this (hide the flag control or require a confirm):

The UI of Hacker News Is Perfect
Definitely not perfect. The default "collapse comment" buttons being right-aligned is pure insanity, IMO. They should be left-aligned so they're all in line with each other as you scroll down the page, so you barely have to move your mouse.
Fortunately this extension[1] takes care of that.

Also, proper hyperlink support in comments would be appreciated.

Ask HN: How do you use HN?
>Do you use browser plugins or user scripts?
https://github.com/insin/hn-comments-owl
I've also been writing a Godot app for HN off an on for a while now. It isn't ready for prime time but here's what it looks like[0].
>Also, what are your habits around HN?
I tend to lurk the new comments page. I check this site constantly, and use it as a distraction from more worthwhile projects. It's pathetic, this place is basically intellectual junk food.

Ask HN: How do you track comment threads in HN?
I use a plugin that shows new comment counts since my last visit and that highlights new comments[0].
HN is beta testing a similar feature. I'd encourage them to add the new comment count as well if they haven't.

Ask HN: How do you track comment threads in HN?
I made a Greasemonkey script to do this in 2008:

It has been on my project list to turn this into a proper extension that could be used on any website for more than a decade and I actually started working on it again recently, which led to a fun commit message when I restarted the project:
> Convert the user script to a chrome extension …
> This is a pretty straightforward port. In 12 years there'd been only a minor change to the DOM on HN comment pages. I also needed to port the Greasemonkey get/setValue methods to Chrome's local storage. And create the rest of the extension boilerplate. But that's about it!
> What's fun about this is that Chrome's first stable release was on the day before this original user script was released. Chrome extensions weren't released until more than a year later.
> So this Chrome extension predates Chrome extensions by about a year.
