Quora bookmarklets
/* These are bookmarks for making various tasks on Quora easier.
* Since GitHub Markdown doesn't allow JavaScript links, you'll have to install the complicated way.
* Each of the lines beginning with `javascript:` below is a bookmarklet.
* To install, create a new bookmark in your browser and paste that line as the URL.
* Leave feedback in Gist comments or contact https://www.quora.com/Adam-Merberg
