Would it be practical to introduce a tag system which lets each user manage their own list?

You can do this yourself with a userscript

[bigiain → guipsp]

This would be my preferred option.

I've got a specific use case that's not applicable to most HN readers - here in .au Popular Science links are useless - they do a geo redirect based on your ip address, which redirects me to the homepage of the .com.au version of their site, which in general doesn't even have the original article available...

I'm not sure how configurable userscripts are, but I'd love to add this.

I don't really want to write RES for HackerNews, but it's an interesting project for the last week of my holidays.

Working on this now, no ETA though.

Done. It's terrible. In its own repo so I can have pull requests that add extra sites.
