Description
Thanks so much for publishing https://github.com/simonw/til/blob/main/hacker-news/recent-comments.md. In the spirit of sharing back, I took it one small step further and defined a new search engine shortcut in Chrome/Firefox that will easily construct the appropriate search query url for a given story:
Now I can look up a story, get the story id, then type in the url hnc <paste in story id> and get the comments ordered by date.
Thanks again for sharing your tips! I hope you find this useful too.

Review hacker-news/recent-comments.md and the linked Chrome/Firefox search-shortcut details. The issue does not specify a file change or acceptance criteria, so first clarify whether the shortcut should be added to the TIL content; done would mean the intended workflow is documented there.
