Add Hover-Over Card Tooltips on Reddit


Ever see posts like this on Reddit from that Magic card-fetcher bot?

Card Fetcher Bot Example

Don'tcha wish you could hover over those links to preview images, just like you can on various blogs when they link cards? Then you're in luck, because when I was developing that functionality for this very website, the one you're on right now, I decided to package it into a Tampermonkey script to make it portable.

Tampermonkey is a browser add-on that lets you run custom pieces of code to enhance or change the functionality of websites. To use my script, the steps are simple:

  1. Install the Tampermonkey add-on at their website;
  2. Click here to install the user script that adds the tooltips.
  3. Chrome users: you may need to enable Developer Mode.

If it's successful, you should be able to hover over links from the MTGCardFetcher user and see card images as tooltips, just like how it works on this site. Enjoy!
