What HN tooling do you use to enhance your HN experience?

Question

I use https://hackernewsletter.com/ to keep up, F5 bot to know when I'm mentioned. Made my own chrome extension (I wont plug here, its in my post history) to ease front page refresh, article search and post submission.I've often wanted to follow specific individuals (aka be notified when they post) and I wonder if there's tooling for that. Also wondering what else I don't know exists?

I just create a load of bookmarks to user profiles in a Firefox bookmark folder found in the bookmarks bar then click 'Open all in tabs' which spawns a bunch of tabs, where I can check what my favorite profiles are posting. Some of my faves:

Just a little custom CSS for dark mode, but I love the idea of a browser extension to support "following" HN users like you mentioned. ^_^https://userstyles.org/styles/184485/hacker-news-basic-dark
