Product Hunt: auto-expand hidden replies

Automatically clicks "show more replies" buttons so the whole discussion is visible at once.

Code to copy

// Auto-click "show more replies" buttons in comment threads
(function () {
  function expand() {
    document.querySelectorAll('button, a[role="button"]').forEach(function (b) {
      var t = (b.textContent || '').toLowerCase();
      if (b.dataset.jzExpanded) { return; }
      if (t.includes('show more') || t.includes('more replies') || t.includes('view replies')) {
        b.dataset.jzExpanded = '1';
        b.click();
      }
    });
  }
  expand();
  var obs = new MutationObserver(function () {
    clearTimeout(window.__jzPrhExpand);
    window.__jzPrhExpand = setTimeout(expand, 400);
  });
  obs.observe(document.body, { childList: true, subtree: true });
})();
