Show HN: My first programming project – userscripts to change forum UIs
Hi, I'm Will. I'm 24, autistic, and have OCD tendencies. I'm learning to code and this is my first public project. I’d really appreciate your feedback and encouragement!
This project lets me solve some of my OCD problems online. There are a couple of parts of the forums that I visit – Space Battles, Sufficient Velocity, and Questionable Questing – that I want to remove. Specifically, I hate seeing indicators of how much is left in a forum thread, because I keep thinking about how much content is left. It stops me from immersing myself in the story. It stressed me out. Before I learned to code, I'd use my hand to block the total chapter count so I could read the blurb and see the word count. I would do my best to ignore the page navigation bar except for the next page button, but I usually ended up failing. One of the reasons I always read in full-screen Safari is that I didn't have to see the tab name that always had the page number. I learned not to hover my cursor over the window because it would tell me the page number.
This project is a series of userscripts that hide those indicators. I coded the userscripts in JavaScript, and I'm using [userscripts](https://github.com/quoid/userscripts) as the system. Despite the fact I didn't know what a userscript was until I started coding them, AI assistance allowed me to code them with minimal help from my brother, Stevie. Khanmigo helped me plan, write, and debug code. ChatGPT taught me the theory. Part of the reason I coded a lot faster with the later userscripts is I knew enough to realize when AI was talking about something irrelevant and redirect it. One cool moment was when I correctly predicted I didn't need to code different userscripts for SpaceBattles and Sufficient Velocity because Sufficient Velocity used to be part of SpaceBattles.
I find it relaxing not to have to worry about accidentally seeing the chapter count or the final page number. Maybe they’ll help one of you!

Apple and Safari playing catch-up?
That Safari also supports UserScripts and Extensions also somewhat mutes some of Arc's benefits, so it will be interesting to see how/if Arc responds.

Ask HN: Browser-extension creators, how do you write for multiple browsers?
> Chrome without uBlock (or any browser really) is unusable.
I use a recent version of Safari and uBlock origin doesn't work there.
Instead I use Ka-Block![1], which blocks popular ad serving domains. For other annoyances like newsletter popups, etc., I rely on the "Kill sticky headers" script[2], with some custom hacks; I'll try to post my version of that script sometime soon.
It works good enough for my needs. I also have Firefox with uBlock installed, I end up still using Safari.

Safari opens up new window telling me to install 'flash player' because my flash player is out of date.
For blocking different kinds of internet junk, I use Ka-Block!, Hush and NextDNS. I see no scams like that and very little ads.

Is this legit, or a spam?
I’d suggest you use NextDNS, Ka-Block! and Hush on all your devices to block not only these scams, but also trackers, ads, annoying cookie notices and other internet junk.

I may have been hacked
You haven’t been hacked. It sounds like a scammy ad. I suggest NextDNS, Ka-Block! and Hush for blocking these and other internet junk (I’ve been using all three myself for a long time).

Malware
You don’t have a virus. This pop-up was a scammy ad. I use NextDNS, Ka-Block! and Hush to block these and other internet junk. I’d suggest you to try them out. It costs you nothing and you can regain some sanity, privacy, security, internet bandwidth, computing speed and battery life by not loading all the scams, phishing attempts, trackers, ads, cookie notices and general junk the modern internet is unfortunately full of.
