I am sorry, but I find the original HN to be more readable than after applying the extension. Maybe that's just me, but I don't consider the bigger gaps between lines to be more readable. Also the original font looks better to me.

#13Pretty awesome, I like it a lot. Well done :)

#14I think it takes a bit more getting used to, but I do genuinely like it. Good job, I love the white space.

#15This is an amazing experiment I actually liked the new design but I prefer the original one more, maybe due to a habit.
I second that the whitespace between the 2 articles is more than I personally feel comfortable with. Also, a bigger font and a darker font color for the number of comments would be awesome.
Great work, nonetheless!

It looks very nice. Would you port it to greasemonkey script so that it can work on Firefox.
Just submitted the app in the Chrome Store. Here is the HN link: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2410195 Will do a port for Safari and Firefox soon! Hope you guys like it!
I am going to slug it out and try get use to this app because I do hate the old hacker news but I'm use to it out of habit.
What I don't like about this one is how small the upvote button is and how small the points and usernames are.

#18Would you be willing to open source this?
It'd be cool to play around with styles myself, or modify for other websites.

It's open source: https://github.com/jorde/readable-hn
It's actually rather easy to create custom CSS styles using Chrome Extensions. This is my second.

#20I prefer the flexibility of Stylebot (on Chrome, or Stylish in firefox). Right now the style I have applied is this one: http://stylebot.me/styles/223 I would like to do something with the comments tree, but since they are not nested but padded its not possible to show a hierarchy on them :S It would be nice to see other peoples styles to take ideas :D
I have been using Stylebot but prefer CSS extensions as there's a small lag when applying styles with SB on load. I still use Stylebot for creating styles but I the results ends up in a custom extension (with !important).
