Hacker News has one of the designs of all time - this browser extension focuses on improving the site's functionality (drawing the rest of the friendly owl, if you will) while preserving the UI we all know.
Its core functionality is improving your ability to follow comment threads across repeat visits. The fun begins the _second time_ you visit a comments thread on Hacker News - how many times...

Hi, I've been making and maintaining a browser extension called Tweak New Twitter for the last 3 and a bit years (currently at 100,000+ users across all browsers). Most people don't know it also fully supports the mobile version of Twitter Web and also has mobile-only features, as it's not currently possible to freely install extensions on the mainline versions of Chrome or Firefox on...

Control Panel for Twitter gives you some of the settings you wish Twitter Web had, and also adds some missing features.

Hi Product Hunters, I created VLC Remote to control VLC media player from my couch when using it to stream content from my computer to the TV.
VLC comes with a built-in web interface, but it isn't that nice to use on a mobile device. Luckily, by enabling the web interface, you can also use its APIs. I also wanted to learn more Flutter, so…
The app is ad-free, open source and because it's...

Remote control VLC media player on a computer in your local network.
Uses VLC's HTTP API to mirror VLC's playlist and lets you browse files, save favourite folders, enqueue media and control playback settings.

I made this extension to "finish off" Hacker News' comment threads (drawing the rest of the friendly owl if you will, hence the silly name) by adding an important missing feature - being able to quickly see which comments are new when you revisit an item.
For years, I'd been unable to follow comment threads in a satisfactory way on repeat visits, searching for "minutes ago" or "1 hour ago" to...

Twitter likes to foster this thing we call "engagement", and taken as a whole I think that's for _their_ benefit, not mine, as I don't find it to be a very mentally healthy place to browse in its normal state.
I'm there for people's excitement, enthusiasm, conversations and the cool things they do and make, but Twitter's algorithms and retweets tend to bring me more bad news, bad takes,...

Reduce "engagement" and tone down some of New Twitter's UI

This extension aims to reduce "engagement" on New Twitter by keeping you on the chronological timeline and moving retweets to a separate timeline, so your main feed contains only what the people you follow have to say. It also tones down some UI elements.
