Purposes

delete reddit comments

Deletes reddit comments from history of your account. This is especially useful if you participate in subreddits exposing potentially identifiable information. For instance, posting on /r/financialindependence and saying things over time like "I'm in software" and "moved to Seattle" and saying "vesting day!" got my workplace doxed to a subreddit of 700,000+ people.

treasury direct password

This was another "I was irked" bookmarklet. Treasury direct uses some pretty asinine security theater with their "virtual keyboard" which makes you click each letter of your password...but the password is just a <input type="password" readOnly> element. Of course, when you put blockers in the way of developers they find a way around them. Or as the Gov. of Missouri likes to call it, hacking!

Please check out the source code to ease your mind that it may copy your password. It only enables the input element, asks your password, enters it for you, then hits the submit button. No writing to anything, no HTTP requests, nothing.

equity count

Schwab's user interface is broken down into grants, then each grant has a set of dates. For the sake of my budgeting I wanted all the options & RSUs that would be vesting on a given date...so pivoting the table. Unfortunately, they don't provide a way to do that.
