Collapsible comments for Hacker News

Once someone has added this to their bookmark toolbar and started to use it, they are likely to forget where they got it from. And when they want to know where they got it from, they are likely to look for clues in the source code of the bookmarklet.<p>So, I humbly suggest that you add to the bookmarklet some "googleable" string such as "Author: niyazpk". When I googled on "niyazpk" just now, your Github was the fourth hit.

I really like this. I also have the Hacker News Enhancement Suite [1] and think it is almost as good as the Reddit one.<p>----<p>[1] <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bappiabcodbpphnojdiaddhnilfnjmpm" rel="nofollow">https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bappiabcodbpphnojd...</a>

I'm not going to click a bookmarklet every time I read comments, definitely should be an extension or a user script.<p>Secondly the collapse button would be much better on the left side.

One suggestion, can you move the collapsible-minus to be left of username? Like on reddit?

One usability change: put the collapse link on the left side of article title (ala reddit), this makes it quicker to find the widget since it will always be in the same place.

Very useful! Instead of "optically scanning" all the first level comments I can collapse each comment after reading.

Or always available as a user script:<p><a href="https://arantius.com/misc/greasemonkey/hacker-news-comment-collapse.user.js" rel="nofollow">https://arantius.com/misc/greasemonkey/hacker-news-comment-c...</a><p>Also collapses by default threads below depth two.

I have been using this to provide collapsing comments for some time: <a href="https://github.com/andrewheins/HN-Comment-Hider" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/andrewheins/HN-Comment-Hider</a>

The last couple of extensions / bookmarklets that did this, did not work in Opera (at the moment that I tried them, at least). But this one does, kudos for that! I'm using it, thanks! :)

My userscript for Greasemonkey users: <a href="http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/138037" rel="nofollow">http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/138037</a>

Fabulous! just started using it now, great job.<p>I love approaches like this, as opposed to just moaning feature X doesn't exist, implement it!

Why isn't this implemented on HN natively?

This is pretty useful, man! Just started using it too.<p>I'm thinking of making a Chrome Extensions from this bookmarklet.

Thanks a lot, it's amazing. Should be a chrome extension fast, btw.

This is great! Thank you!

Implement here ASAP!!!

Thanks.
