It does!

  1. Copy the code from this post.
  2. Create a new bookmark for this page with Ctrl+d.
  3. Edit the bookmark URL to the code, and the title to whatever you want.
  4. Open any website.
  5. Click on the bookmark.
  6. Profit.

Yeah, did work for me on Linux and Brave, very cool!

But I noticed it doesn't work when you open the bookmark in a new tab. URL will then be about:blank.

But it's still really cool for how simple it is!

I've got you:

javascript:(function(){window.open("https://stacker.news/~bitcoin/post?type=link&url="+encodeURIComponent(document.location)+"&title="+encodeURIComponent(document.title),"_blank")})();

This one will instead open the submission in a new tab. So you won't open the bookmark for a new tab, but the submission page will.

🤯

why didn't I think of that haha

edit: btw, if you don't include ~bitcoin in the URL, it will still work but the user can select a territory. Might make more sense.

I'm sure there's a lot more that can be done with this concept of bookmarklets. Automating submissions was the obvious one, and very useful for me.
