You already can create JS plugins for HN with Greasemonkey.

I have one which currently:

  - hides links based on domain (like techcrunch.com)
  - hides links based on words appearing in the title (like gogaruco)
  - highlights names of known posters and adds a string describing them ("somenick" becomes "somenick: Firstname Lastname (Companyname)")
  - makes comment boxes bigger
  - adds a margin at the bottom
It's pretty easy to do, really.


Yeah, but I use Safari. There's GreaseKit, which I have installed, but I've had little success getting it to work with regular GreaseMonkey scripts.


Is it available somewhere?


I cleaned it up a bit (removed names, etc) and uploaded it here: http://lexandera.com/public/hackernews.user.js

There's a configuration section at the top which you need to customize.


Cool! Thanks!


There are several GM scripts for this site:
