The best alternative is probably just not-doing that - the reason for the page splits is the performance of the HN back-end and hitting the site for all the follow-on pages might make the problem worse, not better.

Fair point, thanks for mentioning. I'll make a toggle in mine then, as I want it on a select few pages, but not on others.
There's a couple of Chrome extensions on https://github.com/adriel/awesome-hacker-news#browser-extens...

Imagine a future where we could put our code into a search engine and then get back apps/programs that have similar functionality...
We used to have it, and it was glorious, until Google tooketh away:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Code_Search
It was amazing to see similar code and to see how they approached things. Of course, if only really worked with snippets, but as a learner it was truly amazing.
I really wonder if they kept it for internal use.
If you're looking for a GCS replacement, Sourcegraph is a thing! We've taken a lot of inspiration from Google Code Search (both the public version and the internal version which was even better): https://sourcegraph.com
Forked from https://github.com/cheeaun/awesome-hacker-news
And if there aren't any alternatives, then let's improve this together!
