I made a pretty normal trip to jlist (an online shop selling all manner of things Japanese) and for some reason thought: I bet I could change this store layout with Greasemonkey! With a couple of hours of fiddling, I had managed to create a script that took their HTML and mangled it to my bidding. That makes me sound kinda evil doesn’t it? At any rate, you can do some pretty impressive stuff to a page with just JavaScript. So you can poke it and whatnot fairly easily, I’m providing both in this zip file: jlist condensing greasemonkey scripts
By default, when browsing by category, everything in is shown vertically with text and pictures. I wanted to browse without scrolling so much, so at first I made this a greasemonkey userscript called “jlist-condense.user.js” and here’s the result with that one:
JList with the first condensing script
So, I decided to continue playing around with the script and then made a “super-condensed” version that uses even less space. It would break on things that don’t have pictures at the moment btw, but most everything on jlist does have a picture. Further, I was just me messing around with Greasemonkey script shenanigans. All it is is product image with a reflection (because I can) that you can mouse over for the title and click to view the full product descriptions.
