Ask HN: What does your HN look like?

We all know how this community loves software that can be customized and modded.

So, I'm curious what your Hacker News page looks like? Share a screenshot and explain the details of your scripts/styles/changes.

I'll start. My HN: https://i.imgur.com/z9D2XPr.png

I use Stylebot to implement custom CSS rules. I tried many dark HN extensions and most of them have issues with threading or style details I didn't like, so I just wrote my own CSS.

Then I use Tampermonkey to run a simple JS function which adds tags based on how many comments each article has. And I also tag articles as "Fresh" if they have been posted within the last hour.

I also plan to add sorting by comment count. The thing I loved most about HN is the discussions that happen within the comments.

I'll throw my theme into the mix. It doesn't cover everything since I don't yet have access to everything, but it works for me.

Mine is 150% scaled. The rest is the same (no plugins, no css rules).

I didn't know people customized the HN webpage. I mean, I use Glider from F-Droid as a mobile client, because it's much better than browsing the website on mobile, but on desktop, the vanilla website is perfectly fine for me.
