Hacker News: single-thread focus mode

Slightly dims every comment and fully brightens only the one your cursor currently hovers over.

Code to copy

/* Focus mode: fade comments until you hover over them */
.comtr {
  transition: opacity 0.15s ease-in-out !important;
}
.comtr:not(:hover) .commtext {
  opacity: 0.78 !important;
}
.comtr:hover .commtext {
  opacity: 1 !important;
}

Does this example work?

Snippets are useless without somewhere to paste them.

JustZix takes 2 minutes to install and runs your code on every matching page. No account, no payment.
