I just pushed all the javascript into a .user.js file and put in the correct header, and got a working greasemonkey plugin: http://akkartik.name/newsyc-comment-tracker.user.js

Wow!

Currently autoadds every comment thread you ever visit. I'll add support for seeing monitored threads now, and maybe deleting some threads if others want that.

It's still Waleed's baby, though.



Super. Thanks akkartik. Can't wait to see the monitored threads list, that would be awesome.



One little feature request. Can you list the threads in descending order by time of visit? This way, the ones I visit last show at the top. I think it can be done if you attach the time-stamp to the cookie, and then order by it.


Yeah, let me look into it.

New version with delete by cookie. http://akkartik.name/newsyc-comment-tracker3.user.js


Bugfix: delete should work properly now.


Awesome. I just updated the blog post to mention your plugin and link to the latest script.


Great. Thanks for your kind words.

Update about sorting the links by access time: my sorting-fu on javascript isn't that great, and it doesn't seem as easy as in perl/python/ruby.

A second complication: I currently have code in there to watch out for duplicate cookies in case somebody upgraded to the script after using your bookmarklet for a while. I'll pull that code out in a few days. That should make the sorting code simpler.


Wow, very nice. Althogh my 'break time' link is gone :(. But, still, I really like it. Thanks a bunch.
