If you click into the comments, it takes you to the real HN comments page with the real title

Yeah but I'd need to click each of them, thus the request for that feature.

I like how the current form is close to the real HN experience without onHover cruft.

I vibe coded the shit out of a Chrome extension that does that while waiting on CI/CD. Go read the content.js to make sure I'm not hacking your shit, download the repo to your computer, enable developer mode in chrome, "load unpacked", point it at the directory with those files, and enjoy your tool tips.

Edit: Took 18 minutes.

Two days ago I created HN new comments highlighter with hiding of old comments - took me 2 prompts and ~ 10 mins + some clean up. https://github.com/gala8y/hn-comments-highlighting-and-hidin...

I created a greasemonkey script to show the origin title as tooltips when you put your mouse over the title: https://gist.github.com/ramsayleung/ce854138e7663f5fdeb81345...

by leveraging this work: https://github.com/fragmede/honest-hn-tooltips

I wanted that feature as well. Adds much to the lols.
