Displays the Hacker News comment thread that corresponds to the page you are currently viewing in a sidebar, if it was submitted to Hacker News.
UPDATE Feb 20 2014: uses the Algolia API instead of HNSearch, which is being sunsetted.
Note that this extension, by necessity, MUST submit the URLs of webpages that you visit to https://hn.algolia.com/ to search for corresponding Hacker News items. They could conceivably use this data to reconstruct your browsing history if they were inclined enough and able to uniquely identify the requests your browser is making. Please do not use this extension if you do not trust that site with this sort of data!
Source is available at https://github.com/powerpak/hn-sidebar and a discussion of the code is available at http://tedpak.com/2013/03/20/hacker-news-sidebar-a-chrome-extension .
This is a resuscitation of an old extension with the same name by Omer Gertel that has lost function due to changes in searching APIs, HN's move to HTTPS, and HN's use of X-Frame-Options.
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!
