Re-Submitted because I uploaded it to the chrome web store, had some reports of people not being able to enable it or install it because of some recent security changes.

Just a tiny little extension that lets you collapse comments on HN. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Here's the github link if you're interested https://github.com/Igglyboo/hn_collapse

This is pretty cool! I switched from a similar extension purely because I prefer the location on the left of the comment rather than the right.

I've tried a lot of these and one thing I haven't seen is a similar feature to RES that remembers collapsed threads. Any ideas if this is something that HN's design somehow precludes or is it just a matter of someone sitting down and writing the code?

Cool! I've always found it hard to read comments in the big discussions. It would be helpful if you had more details on what comments it collapses in the Chrome store description. In the screenshot it didn't look like comments were collapsed. Can I adjust which comments are collapsed, is it just deeply nested comments?
Awesome work. This is really helpful on stories that have more than a hundred comments.
