Does anyone know if HN will natively support a dark mode and if not, where can I find an implementation of it?

There exists extensions that can do it, tho be careful about them some have been known to spy on people, by reporting back data

The Chrome extension Dark Reader works very well on Hacker News. It's hit or miss on other sites and can create some disturbing SVGs.

I use tampermonkey (works in all browsers IIRC) with this little hacky script: https://pastebin.com/USzMCtSz

Here's a simple user style I wrote:

body { background-color: black !important; filter: invert(90%) hue-rotate(180deg) !important; }
