Show HN: Quickly scan HN for new articles
I have a dedicated HN tab that I come back to and reload multiple
times a day to see whats new and hot. I wrote a Chrome Extension
to: - quickly scan new articles since my last reload - quickly
scan highly discussed articles - open actual articles and
discussions in a new tab This links to the source code. The chrome
extension is linked at the bottom of the github page. Note: -
This extension only operates on the HN front page
(https://news.ycombinator.com/news) - The first time you reload the
HN front page after installing the extension all articles will get
highlighted.

| Also added a comment count change in there recently.
