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. I realized I was always opening the article in one tab and the comments in another, constantly switching back and forth.I figured there was probably a simpler way, so I threw together this userscript to merge the two.1. Clicking a link from Hacker News opens the article with a side panel containing the discussion. It doesn't require your credentials, is resizable, and is easy
