I used to want this feature. Then I realized it's nice to be forced to wade through bad/low vote comments. Sometimes I even find them interesting.<p>With sorting the higher will be higher (people sort and agree with the higher voted comments, hence voting them up again) and lower remains unread.
<i>(I actually posted this earlier under a different title but I don't think anyone saw it.)</i><p>A while back I had the urge to sort HN comments and figured a javascript bookmark was the best way to go. My thoughts eventually led me to, "Hmm what other cool stuff can I do to modify my favorite websites?" And then of course that led to, "I'll create a repository for this kinda stuff!"<p>So I registered the domain jsmods.com a while back and finally had the chance to whip something together last weekend.<p>The entire site is contained within a single PHP file under 600 lines long, and I don't use any database... just encrypted flat files with file concurrency prevention algorithms.<p>And I actually didn't find out until yesterday that it's called "bookmarklets." I googled the term afterwards and I must say, the current bookmarklet repository sites out there are horrendous.<p>However, I think JSmods is the appropriate name as I created it for people to create and share javascript modifications for specific websites, not just the usual any-site-bookmarklet.<p>I'd like it to be conducive to learning and hacking.<p>After I get some more submissions I'll add a search function (similar to the instant searches we see everywhere these days) and some other fancy stuff. And I may end up replacing the disqus comment system with my own custom system because the disqus system doesn't work as seamlessly/smoothly as I would like.<p>Overall it was a pretty fun little project to whip together over the weekend. :)
