I still remember when people realized the MacBook had a sudden motion sensor and used it to make lightsaber noises: https://osxdaily.com/2006/12/06/macsaber-turn-your-mac-into-...

Curious to see all the new interaction paradigms people come up with now that we have something physical that can sense degrees of freedom. A dumb one off the top of my head: When reading a book with both screens open, have the outer displa

Considering how many comments I regularly see on Hacker News from people who still love their M1 MacBooks, I’d say that’s not a particularly strong maxim.

True, but passports are one of the few readable objects I can think of that regularly get used in both vertical and horizontal orientations.

It was clever that they used the reference point of a passport. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone complain about passports being unwieldy.

(Not the most groundbreaking website, but I've found it an especially useful reference guide when trying to describe a UI/interaction to an LLM.)

I've recently been watching these dev logs for an update to the Bodycam FPS game and was impressed by the attention to detail with building out core systems. (The game is trying to portrait a very realistic combat environment, so if yo

I started working towards this goal in the latest release: you can now add Reddit as a source, so now when you visit a URL it will check across all subreddits where it's been posted and give you a blended discussion made up from everyo

Thanks for sharing this, instant add to my "unique artists" bookmarks folder.

Thanks again for the feedback everyone! I've made quite a few improvements from the original version over the past few days, but unfortunately the OG version I released didn't specify the @updateURL or @downloadURL so you may not

I've been working towards building out functionality close to what you're describing. As a first feature, I added annotations where the script looks for HN comments quoting parts of the article and adds a highlighter effect. It le

by twalichiewicz 2mo ago
I feel similarly. That's actually why I started messing around with a feature where HN comments dynamically annotate the target website. It lets you read the article while seeing exactly where users commented on a particular aspect, so

I've been trying to think through a schema that would work universally, but so far it's proven tricky to not over-bias and risk blocking a legitimate use case.

Added this yesterday, update to the latest and give it a test.

by twalichiewicz 2mo ago
There are several non-static pages that people have previously submitted to HN that can cause some strange behavior like this. In the latest version I just published (v1.4.7) I've excluded the main ChatGPT and Claude homepages (but not

(Replying to both of you) I've updated to v1.4.5 which now allows you to drag the toggle button anywhere you want on screen, and added the collapsed-by-default behavior on mobile.

by twalichiewicz 2mo ago
Yeah, I noticed that too. It's mostly because people tend to post ChatGPT outage pages to HN, so the script ends up activating there unfortunately. I'm working on a fix, but in the meantime you can add `@exclude https:/&#x2F

Open to it. For now I’m going to keep it as a userscript and build out some of the interesting ideas people have suggested here. If it keeps growing, a proper extension would definitely make sense.

by twalichiewicz 2mo ago
Mostly transparency. Since this runs across pages you visit (with the sites controlled by the @include/@exclude rules at the top of the script), I like that the entire source is right there and easy to inspect before installing it. A u

[Assuming you mean duplicate HN submissions] I normalize the URL and use HN's Algolia search API to find an existing story with a matching URL. I don't currently handle multiple HN submissions of the same article; I just use the m

This actually reminds me of a tool I was noodling around with a while back. Before subagents became a built-in feature in Claude, I was similarly inspired by the Meeseeks archetype and built an MCP server that spun up a parallel mesh networ
