My FriendFeed user scripts

Most of them use unsafeWindow and are therefore compatible only with Firefox+Greasemonkey. Also, they are compatible with both normal FriendFeed and Beta.

Click to install.

1. In-place Preview

In-place Previewer (install) adds a simple Preview action to all FriendFeed items with a link inside. This button opens an embedded HTML frame and loads the link into this frame.

Example:

Changelog:
15 Sep 2008 — disable autorefresh when a preview frame is open; support links in Twitter posts.

2. Death to White Brotherhood

Death to White Brotherhood (install) removes silly names from FriendFeed pages by replacing them with nicknames from URL.

Helps to make sense of this mess:

There are several bugs in the script due to dynamic nature of FriendFeed pages. New content that gets added to the page sometimes escapes the processing.

Why such a name? There were several "White Brotherhood"-themed nicks in Russian FriendFeed community long ago -- this script was initially written to battle the Brotherhood.

3. Bottom comment link

Bottom Comment Link (install) clones "Comment-Like-Hide" links at the bottom of a thread if there're more than a predefined threshold number of comments in the thread so that there's no need to scroll up to add a comment or hide the post.

Example:

Changelog:
12 Dec 2008 — fix for newly i18nized FriendFeed. Should work for all languages.
12 Oct 2008 — add "Like" and "Hide" links too.

4. Tinyurl-ru

Tinyurl-Ru Resolver (install) adds a way to "expand" tinyurlified URL with a simple click on a question mark. This is a modification of original tinyurl.user.js with support for local russian service b23.ru.

Those who want to add support for clck.ru should first make its author provide expansion API.

Also, I wish all URL-shortening services a painful death because they are mostly used for obfuscating SPAM links nowadays. Twitter should also suffer for imposing a 140 chars limit on all messages.

5. LLLLOST, Filmfed

These scripts hide all entries from FFFFOUND, vi.zualize.us, formalista and filmfeed.ru.

I chose not to publish them because there's a wonderful FriendFeed Saviour script which can easily be modified to include this functionality. Here's this modified version (install).
