Concept

There are two online communities that I’ve really come to value – Reddit and Hacker News. I visit both often, but whenever I was reading the comments of Hacker News, I always felt like something was lacking – the ability to collapse commments, so I wrote a little script to enable that on the site.

Execution

It’s a simple little jQuery script that I pipe through Greasemonkey or a Chrome extension, depending on your browser of choice.

Results

Works great, and it’s got a few users around the web too, which is kind of cool.
