Post Description

I'm sharing a userscript for for those who read the HN comments section a lot:

1. Updates comments without reloading the page — instantly see new ones as they appear.

2. Cleaner comment topline for less distraction — shows controls only when you hover over the topline.

There is a preview gif of how it looks in the README.
