I wish they would update the line-height to something more reasonable. ~1.5x font size would be go a long way in paragraph readability. Other than that, it's fast and stable. About all I require from a forum. Edit: All my lovely responders, I appreciate the feedback, but I don't want to install addons/mods/hacks to fix line-height.

In Safari: View → Zoom In It's smart enough to remember the zoom level the next time you open HN too.

For twitter you can disable JS and it will fallback to a ""degraded"" (a.k.a. Much faster & usable) experience.
