This and the BetterHN Chrome extension are alternatives to each other. BetterHN is automatic, but injects crap into pages you view. And, obviously, a bookmarklet is cross-browser.

Options are good. Thanks, marcua!

In a way, interesting, on the other hand I already have the "post to YC" bookmarklet installed.

Thanks! My problem is not being able to find a discussion that already exists. The "post to YC" bookmarklet would create a duplicate submission, so I needed something slightly different.

[Tichy → marcua]

I don't think it creates a duplicate submission. If the site was already submitted, "Post to YC" amounts to an upvote instead.

like it. Quite useful. How about you open a new tab with the discussion thread, since that is why a user would click on the bookmarklet?

[marcua → srik1234]

Thanks! I thought about that, but there might be multiple threads for that URL, so I wanted to let the user know there might be multiple. Should I open multiple tabs?

Can you open a single thread but give an index when there are multiple threads?

[marcua → pbhjpbhj]

That's probably the balanced approach. I'll try to do it if I get some free time.
