I've seen a hundred of these but this is quite nice, I'll give it a shot for a week. The configuration makes it much nicer, others have been too opinionated. One thing: it'd be nice to click the whole top header of the comments to collapse them, instead of clicking the far left toggle. Edit: also not seeing my comment score inline on the page header makes it difficult to know if I should check my comments for activit…

Thanks :) Will add the comment score. Clicking the header to collapse is a good idea, I'll get that working too.

highlighting the OP w/ a color was a nice touch btw

Hey man, I installed the Firefox extension and I am loving it. However the Auto Dark Theme does not work and DarkReader does nothing at all on your layout. Having a dark version of this would be awesome :) Thanks for your hard work. I appreciate it! :)

It has a dark version already. Press the "aA" icon on the top right toolbar

I really like the current simple design of HN, my only issue with it is how ridiculously zoomed out it is by default. I've been viewing HN at 150% zoom for as long as I can remember.

Hah, I have particularly bad eyesight and HN and Terminal are both around 175% normal (12pt) zoom levels.

I only have an average bad eyesight, but I still prefer ridiculously zoomed text. My focus simply is always on very little code or text at a time, so I don’t see the point of not utilising my screens fully.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Why is it way less efficient?

because it hides important UI elements. in particular prev and next which i use frequently are completely missing. that alone forced me to turn off the extension after just a few minutes, because unfortunately it made pages very difficult to navigate.

Good point, I'll add prev / next back in the next update. They've been moved to the "control pad" (pro feature) in the extension, but my intention is for the free version to support all current HN features.

also the more I use this the more I like it, nice work :)

Shameless plug for a small Userstyle I wrote: https://git.gioia.cloud/andrew/gists/src/branch/master/Users... It adds dark mode and some spacing/font size/readability improvements for wider screens.

Just a little usability tip, if you name the css file with the extension .user.css, when viewed as raw from Github, Gitea, etc extensions like Stylus will offer to install it so users don't need to create the userstyle entry themselves.

For me, I dislike that it is not in dark mode without some userscript

Same here.

Firefox on iPhone/iOS can't zoom text (a long time open request.) Therefor it's impossible to this website with it. Kind of ridiculous.

Is it really so hard to create a proper default layout? Text size seems so basic...

The current design is simple but lacking imo. Font size is small, not touch friendly. Also annoying that a single new line doesn't do anything, you need to have two. Doesn't make sense at all.

Firefox ask for permission for "Access your data for extensionpay.com" ?????? What for ????????? Seriously : I can't understand... and I surely WONT install this because I cant ANY REASON. Really disapointed :-(

The extension uses ExtensionPay [1] to accept payments via Stripe for the Pro upgrade. It's open source and created by HN user Glench [2]. [1] https://github.com/glench/ExtPay [2] https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=glench

But Google Chrome has the following note in the extension details view after you install it:

> This extension is not trusted by Enhanced Safe Browsing. Learn more[1]
