Did you ai generate the Chrome and Firefox logo? That isn't what they look like, or have ever looked like, from what I know.
I made a Stylus style to make Hacker News's UI more modern.<p>Some screenshots:<p><a href="https://gist.github.com/user-attachments/assets/643969af-89ca-415f-b20c-90f2d0c74d02" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/user-attachments/assets/643969af-89c...</a><p><a href="https://gist.github.com/user-attachments/assets/95e4b14d-b679-478d-a8d8-f987b0d2c31d" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/user-attachments/assets/95e4b14d-b67...</a>
I can't figure out how to toggle to Light Mode (maybe it uses the system setting?). HN is something I prefer to be in Light Mode but everything else in dark. Gonna remove until this is configurable.
It looks pretty good! I'm using it now and its a meaningful improvement to the existing site.<p>Out of curiosity, why did you make a new Github account for the extension instead of developing it on your own account?
Latchkey, would you be comfortable with HN adopting your dark mode styling as a user choice someday, if they came around to liking it? <i>I</i> really like it and I think it’s in the spirit of the site.
its funny how us developers build varied UX, but nothing beats the simplicity of HN's default experience. quick and bloat free.
I want hacker news UX to stay as it is, mostly, but these are features I'd welcome.
I use refined Hacker news Extension.<p><a href="https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news#highlights" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news#highlights</a><p>It might be beneficial to tell me what the difference between these two can be? A lot of the features from my first glance (I can be totally wrong though) are within HN refined.<p>I would really appreciate a short summary of differences. Personally I am really happy by HN refined though so kudos to @plibither8
Refined hasn't received an update in 4 years.<p><a href="https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news/issues/135#issuecomment-3795584312" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news/issues/135...</a><p>I used refined for years as well. Great product, but the underlying code was meh, and the author abandoned it. If you're using refined today, you're experiencing a lot of bugs as the HN DOM has changed over time.<p>I maintained my own fork for a long time but finally motivated myself to try out AI assisted coding and this is what came out of it. It isn't a port, it is a clean rewrite from the ground up.<p>I took every feature that I enjoyed from refined, re-implemented it from scratch, with a totally different architecture that allows much more control over the DOM and runs a whole lot faster.<p>I had AI write hundreds of of unit tests, so that we can make sure that bugs don't appear in the future. I also fixed a whole ton of edge cases along the way.<p>The entire deployment, all the way to the browser stores, is fully automated with CI/CD, so that we know that the supply chain is safe.<p>In other words, you might as well migrate. If there is something missing that you enjoyed, file an issue, or even better... a PR.
This is helpful! Thank you
