Hey guys, quick intro.<p>I was procrastinating heavily these days and reading HN more than usual, and the listing > article > listing > comments flow started to become kind of frustrating. I would sometimes go to the comments page and then the external link from there, just so the BACK action would take me to the comments page.<p>But this was not ideal for two reasons: 1, if I got to read the top comments first I'd probably already be biased by the time I got to check out the linked page (I guess that also says a lot about me); and 2, I don't always want to go through the comments page at all, but I can't really know this up front, without visiting the link first.<p>So, since I never got to make a Chrome extension before and because there's never a better time to experiment with new stuff than when you're avoiding 'real' work, I tried to create one to fix this. With only a few coding hours this evening, it already works great for me. Here's the flow:<p>- Install the Chrome extension (find link in github README)<p>- Click on any link from the HN listing normally<p>- If you decide to comment or read comments after visiting the linked page, press SHIFT+BACKSPACE and it will take you to the comments page on HN<p>- But wait, if you do BACK now, it takes you back to that page and you want to go to the HN listing instead. Do SHIFT+BACKSPACE again then<p>PS: Let me know if you also find this flow helpful or if you have ideas for different shortcuts.<p>PPS: I'm not tracking anything or doing anything malicious with your browser, but since it's my first extension, let me know if you see any fishy coding logic in there.
