#242I would _love_ to have this (as well as dark mode and a few CSS tweaks for better line wrapping) baked in to the main site, as 2020-era options.

#245Hah! I got a really cool little icon that looks almost like the cassette tape pirate logo of Piratbyrån back in the day. I have old t-shirts with that logo. MAKE. THIS. PERMANENT! On the functional side, this really helps you see who is who in a long threaded discussion. Your eye is much quicker at following the little color icons than their names.
Perhaps I'm a little fighter jet from an 8-bit arcade?

I do feel like HN needs avatars of some kind... just don't know if they should be customizable or fixed (like this one).
With how pretty much every platform has "avatars", that the user can customize, I think it would be fun just getting one assigned to you.
Edit: Huh, I got an alien house. Reminds me of some game.
