#reddit

My daily reading is deliberate at this point. I’ve settled on a small set of tools that surface the kind of internet I actually want, rather than whatever’s performing well today.

Since launching the UX of VR website last year I’ve been looking for ways to keep on top of new VR content. For most of the last year I relied solely on a mixture of Google Alerts, manually using the search functionality on websites and browsing VR blogs daily. Here’s how I improved on that process.

Another Chrome userscript for reddit.com This one is specifically for anybody wanting to know if Notch (the creator of Minecraft) has responded to the comment thread they are reading. Unable to recover the image :( This script adds a div to the top of the comments thread saying if Notch has replied, and then has a link to each comment. Grab it here: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/110751

I know, it sure is a catchy name! This is just a modification of my previous “Imgur to Filmot url changer” userscript for reddit.com

I created a userstyle for Reddit to make it look more like Google+ and other redesigned Google sites. To install you will need either Stylish or Stylebot for Google Chrome. I’ve only tested this in Google Chrome, and it’s far from complete, but for now it functions nicely enough on subreddit pages and comment threads. For the best experience, disable custom styles for subreddits.

Derivative of the previous reddit/imgur userscript I wrote, this one simply makes all imgur links open in new window/tab (target="_blank") Download

Browsing Reddit while at work probably isn’t the best thing to do if trying to be productive, but sometimes it’s necessary to unwind periodically. Inside our intranet at work imgur is blocked, so browsing Reddit isn’t as enjoyable as it could be.. until now!
