Show HN: I was tired of opening 2 tabs for every HN link, so I made a userscript
HN is great for the links people share, but a big part of the value I get comes from reading the discussion around them.

It doesn't require your credentials, is resizable, and is easy to tweak if you want to customize it. 2. If you land on an article that has previously been shared on HN, the script finds the existing discussion and adds a button in the top-right to open the panel. Feedback welcome.
