Interesting find. I could use this idea in Stylebot (http://stylebot.me). It's a Chrome extension that allows you to live edit a custom stylesheet for any page on the web.

That'll be nice. Inspiring stuff!

Thanks for the amazing feedback! Lots of great ideas! I'll definitely try implementing some of them in future versions.

As far as sharing is concerned, you're right, it'll definitely add a lot of value to Stylebot. But, as you pointed out, it is important to be careful while building such a site. I want there to be some form of curation so that I can keep it minimalist and it doesn't degenerate into userstyles.org (which is a nice place to share styles, but it is so hard to search for good ones there!) Maybe a user up/down voting system.

For the same reason, it'll take some thought and time to build this. I also want it tightly coupled with Stylebot, so that it is easy to install/share styles without too much effort. I'll definitely take a shot at this whenever I've some free time. It'll be great to have other developers jumping in! :)

You can export all your custom styles into a JSON file for import. Also, you can copy a site's custom CSS created using Stylebot.

Currently, there is no repository for sharing designs. In the future, definitely!

Maybe also a page featuring all the best styles from around the web and provide their CSS.

Ideally share the repository of styles at http://userstyles.org/

I don't really like the design of that site. Also, I will like to keep it closely tied with stylebot so it is easy to share/install styles.

Here is the HN custom CSS from http://stylebot.me/examples.html:

Here are a few examples: http://stylebot.me/examples.html

Love the simple, clean design without any distractions. Great idea too. Are you manually adding the quotes/vidoes?

If it's possible to do it in a very subtle manner (footer?), maybe a small tweet icon would be nice (for quotes add the quote to tweet, for videos add the video link)

Yes, I am manually adding the content.

I like the idea of integrating with twitter, facebook, buzz, etc. I will be looking into it.

That's a crazy but a very useful feature request. Wish it was easier and a little less time-consuming to implement.

Maybe someday... :)

#1 - What do you mean by deleting an ad? Do you mean to hide an element on a page whenever that page is opened? I'm not sure how the inspect command will work, though.

#2 - Makes sense.

1. Launch gleebox, search for link. once link is selected type :i or :i.parentNode (or maybe a shorthand for that :i^1 or :i^2 which could mean :i.parentNode.parentNode) once you inspect an element del should be starighforward. And del commands for particular page can also be persisted and run for subsequent visits.And have separate options for persisting del commands and running them on subsequent page visit.

Feel free to ignore these suggestions if you think it will affect usability and bring more complexity.

This might make it a bit too complicated.

Thanks. The default behavior of gleeBox is to search for links when you enter any text.

So, you can simply enter a part of the text of the link you want to go to. If multiple links have the same text, you can TAB your way to the right link. You don't need to use ?a.

I'm a real newb. :) Thanks for clarifying. It's mentionned in the user manual, but to be honnest I just read the big highlights about the commands not the text.. Sorry sir :). And again, great job.
