The + - buttons on the top panel change the font size of every thing except the font size of the panel.
Things are arranged to minimize the page scrolling.
The news title and number of comments are darker and a little bit bigger than other elements for an easy reading.
1. It lacks density where HN excels at density. It is my opinion that it has way too much negative space, and that I do not care if my opinion flies in the face of modern web design ethos. (I do not come to HN because my scroll-finger lacks exercise.)
2. It includes tiny little icons that I cannot discern without careful attention. At best, this is distracting and represents additional complexity that provides no positive value.
Positive feedback:
1. The pages do seem to load fast, and that's certainly a welcome consistency.
Other thoughts:
1. If the best it accomplishes is that parts of it stay the same, but other parts get worse, then: It isn't better. It is worse. Change for the sake of change is usually a non-starter, in my opinion.

- Scrolling is unbearable on Firefox/Android.
- The icons are way too "noisy" I would remove them. Also, posts without icon look "misplaced".
Other than that looks pretty nice. The dark mode is awesome. Don't let the angry mob bring you down ;)

Dark Reader extension does wonders for me.
I keep pointing this out every time dark mode comes up, so don't take it personally: embedded browsers (like the ones in RSS readers) cannot use extensions, and only native dark mode support in the site itself works there. It is _extremely_ annoying to get a white flash while reading news in the night time, and I really don't get why HN doesn't have a pair of CSS lines that would fix it for everyone.
But embedded browsers could always inject their own userscript for dark mode, so I don't really see the problem.
how is this better?
rounded corners!——joking, just looking for myself
But that was... over a quarter a century ago. :)
