Show HN: Prune Unwanted Stories from HN Front Page (swapped.cc)

I've been using this tweak for a month now, and I converged to hiding maybe a story or two per day. It's a great stress reliever if anything else, especially during the crunch times :-)

I would love something like this for the "new stories" page that only displayed links with 2 or more votes.

      items.each(function(){
          var id = getItemId( $(this) );
  -           if (localStorage.getItem(id))
  +           if (localStorage.getItem(id) || ($(this).find('span').html() == '1 point'))
                      hideItem( $(this) );
      });

Cool. What I'd really like would be a way to hide stories across multiple devices!

Interesting idea. Last month I released a Chrome extension for Hacker News that lets you ban stories by domain name (simply choose the domain names in the options, so you don't have to click Hide every time like you do here). It also shows user profiles in their own popup, including twitter button and photo integration. Again, specific features can be configured or turned off in the options panel. New features coming soon!

Thank you for making it. Chrome now insists that you install extensions and userscripts from their "Web Store" so the extension doesn't work.

The bookmarklet works great but can't retain state over page refreshes. This could be super useful otherwise.

I will use this to get rid of all the App.net spam.

How about pre-hiding comments from HNers who are well-known shills for tech companies?

If nobody does that project, maybe someday I will.

Good stuff, it's certainly useful. Consider adding the Hacker News HTTPS version to the included URLs? I've done it manually and it seems to work fine. (Yes, I'm one of those weirdos ;)

As an aside, I really like the click-to-play GIFs too.
