• Show HN: My first programming project – userscripts to change forum UIs
  2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 6 Mar 2024

  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!

  iOS does support that kind of extension. There's an extremely good app for creating/editing the custom CSS/JS https://github.com/quoid/userscripts and it can even sync with your other iDevices/Macs over iCloud.

  The user script variant (the one with fork over code logo) should work on any browsers that can run user scripts, desktop Safari can use extension for that.

  Wipr is paid, but has done a very good job of blocking ads on Safari for me and gets updated. Also there should be userscripts out there you can use to enhance your browsing and this app should allow you to do just that.
