README
# **"I've already seen that..."** you think to yourself, dozens or hundreds of times per day.
Auto-hide Reddit links after you've **seen them once**. :eyes: (also Hacker News links)
99 links are hidden in this image.
* Hiding links is done automatically
* Easily toggle links show/hide if you need it
* Works on Old Reddit and Hacker News
## How to use
1. install browser extension [Tampermonkey](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tampermonkey/dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo?hl=en) for Chrome or [Greasemonkey](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/) for Firefox
1. **optional** security config: Tampermonkey/Greasemonkey have a lot of permissions, I recommend allowing it to run only on specific sites
* sites I allow tampermonkey to run on:
1. `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/*` to install/update this script in Tampermonkey/Greasemonkey
1. `https://www.reddit.com/*` so this script works on reddit
1. `https://news.ycombinator.com/*` so this script works on Hacker News
1. Install by clicking below. It works automatically!
## [Click here to install `already-seen` to Tampermonkey or Greasemonkey](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ryanberckmans/already-seen/master/dist/already-seen.user.js)
## How does it know when you've seen a link?
`already-seen` permanently hides all links on the previous page after you click _"next page"_.
You can also click _"I've seen all the links on this page"_ at the bottom of each page instead of clicking _"next page"_.
## Developers
Small Gitcoin bounties are available for certain [issues](https://github.com/ryanberckmans/already-seen/issues). Bounties will be added in Gitcoin upon request.
### Testing Tampermonkey script locally
Use `yarn dev` to test Tampermonkey locally by installing a test script from a local webserver. (Open the webserver page and click the file to install the dev script to Tampermonkey.)
* Requires that Tampermonkey/Greasemonkey have browser permissions to run on `http://127.0.0.1:38736/*`
* The `yarn dev` script installs to Tampermonkey with the name `already-seen-dev`; make sure to disable the regular `already-seen` while you're testing
### Toolchain
* tsc isn't a bundler, so we need a bundler
* I wanted to try closure-compiler, which does optimizations and bundling, but leaves some comments in the output which breaks browser bookmarklets.
* (previously this was targeting a bookmarklet before upgrading to Tampermonkey; uglify-js used to remove the comments from closure-compiler output)
* closure-compiler doesn't do src file discovery, so each dependency is manually added in package.json (just jquery right now)
* closure-compiler's `-O ADVANCED` results in the script not compiling properly when used with Tampermonkey. Currently using no `-O` flag.
