HN Comments Owl VS DuckDuckGo: Bang

Comments Owl for Hacker News [1] adds a mute button to comments and user profiles which lets you do this. If you want to roll a quick version of your own, once you've identified rows containing comments you want to block, you need to hide all subsequent rows which have a higher indent. I see there's now an "indent" attribute in the DOM which would make this even easier. [1] - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

Definitely not perfect. The default "collapse comment" buttons being right-aligned is pure insanity, IMO. They should be left-aligned so they're all in line with each other as you scroll down the page, so you barely have to move your mouse. Fortunately this extension[1] takes care of that.

For keeping track of replies to my own comments, as previously mentioned there's the threads link at the top of the page, as well as https://hnreplies.com/ and https://hnnotify.xyz/. You can also use https://hnrss.github.io/ or http://hnapp.com/ to make RSS feeds of various types. If there's a post that is particularly interesting and you want to be able to keep abreast of new comments in it, I've found the HN... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

>Do you use browser plugins or user scripts? https://github.com/insin/hn-comments-owl I've also been writing a Godot app for HN off an on for a while now. It isn't ready for prime time but here's what it looks like[0]. >Also, what are your habits around HN? I tend to lurk the new comments page. I check this site constantly, and use it as a distraction from more worthwhile projects. It's pathetic, this place is... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

Check out https://duckduckgo.com/bangs you can dump into pretty much any site, Wikipedia, YouTube, Spotify, Google Translate from the DDG search bar if you have a few favorite bangs memorized. You can put the ! anywhere in the query for it to be picked up as well. - Source: Hacker News / 15 days ago

Seriously, I'm surprised at how many devs haven't seen DuckDuckGo's bangs: https://duckduckgo.com/bangs I use them all the time for work. !mdn for MDN, !dnab for .NET, !npm for NPM, !py3 for Python3 docs, !debman for Debian Manpages, !w for Wikipedia, !a for Amazon, !g for Google when you really need it. I'm not affiliated with DDG; I just really, really love it. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

I think everyone in the thread knows about "search engines" in Chrome and bookmark keywords in Firefox. The crux of the issue is that there are more than 10,000 bang commands in DDG. Setting up even a popular subset in any given browser is a significant investment. It's fine if it's the browser you use 99% of the time, but for those spanning multiple computers, phones, and other devices, simply using bang... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

Where is the place to add personal bangs to DuckDuckGo? I can't find it in https://duckduckgo.com/bangs or https://duckduckgo.com/settings. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

Kagi uses the same bangs as duckduckgo (and more), so there should already be 4 different bangs for it https://duckduckgo.com/bangs?q=protondb. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
