Collapsible comments for Hacker News

Damn, my comment is collapsed in the screenshot. There go my 15 minutes of fame...

This fixes a few issues with the script by Alexander Kirk [1], like collapsed child comments expanding when the parent is expanded. In addition to these this script will work in the threads page of hacker news. Also this bookmarklet will load faster than the script by Alexander since there is no call to any external JS file from my server. The only file you have to load is the latest jQuery from the jQuery website and chances are good that the file is already present in your browser cache. (The downside is that you will not be able to get the latest version when I update the code).<p>[1] <a href="http://alexander.kirk.at/2010/02/16/collapsible-threads-for-hacker-news/" rel="nofollow">http://alexander.kirk.at/2010/02/16/collapsible-threads-for-...</a>

This is nice. I, for one, would like to see this enabled by default. It's minimally intrusive and has simple, obvious utility.

pg, care to incorporate this in to HN? (maybe as an opt-in option)

Is this something people would like added to the HN iPhone app I built? I've considered it and built a demos, but I'm not sure it's needed.<p><a href="http://michaelgrinich.com/hackernews/" rel="nofollow">http://michaelgrinich.com/hackernews/</a>

Works beautifully, I'll be using this. Thanks

added to "browser extensions" section at <a href="http://hnresources.com/apps/" rel="nofollow">http://hnresources.com/apps/</a>

Thanks for this. Collapsible comments are one of the two biggest things I miss from reddit when on HN (the other being some form of notification that someone has replied to you).

I find that the hckrnews extension: <a href="http://hckrnews.com/about.html" rel="nofollow">http://hckrnews.com/about.html</a> works well for me for doing this.
