Summary

Analyze keywords

This is a chrome extension to help with your "workflow" while procrastinating on Hacker News. Once you've navigated to a post from HN a little orange page action appears in your url bar. Click it and the comments for the post should be popped into the page!

I use this on a daily basis and you might want to too, however I make no guarantees about it working. It's only as polished as I've had time to make it.

If you'd like to contribute to it or just poke around in the source the git repo is available at https://github.com/tonyonodi/back-to-the-comments
