This is a chrome extension to help with your "workflow" while procrastinating on Hacker News. Once you've navigated to a post from HN a little orange page action appears in your url bar. Click it and the comments for the post should be popped into the page!
I use this on a daily basis and you might want to too, however I make no guarantees about it working. It's only as polished as I've had time to make it.
If you'd like to contribute to it or just poke around in the source the git repo is available at https://github.com/tonyonodi/back-to-the-comments
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
