I was tired of opening 2 tabs for every HN link

so I made a userscript. Backchannel brings the internet's conversations into whatever you're reading. It blends Hacker News, Bluesky, Reddit, and more into a single discussion thread beside any page, then brings those sources together into a blended front page when you're ready to find something new. HN is great for the links people share, but a big part of the value I get comes from reading the discussion around them.
