Latchkey, would you be comfortable with HN adopting your dark mode styling as a user choice someday, if they came around to liking it? I really like it and I think it’s in the spirit of the site.
I'm pretty sure that will never happen, as it would've happened already by now. People can and do already use custom CSS or Dark Reader for dark mode.

I'm so confused. Can you explain it to me a bit more clearly what you'd like to see? I literally just took the code from refined. https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news/blob/ee7ef...
I opened an issue with screenshots: https://github.com/OrangeJuiceExtension/OrangeJuice/issues/1...

Fixed and closed (all with AI).

custom CSS is the way. I don't believe HN will ever adopt dark mode. But the site is so stripped down it's easy to write custom dark mode for it.
I want hacker news UX to stay as it is, mostly, but these are features I'd welcome.
What features would you welcome?
Here's one potential implementation:

- More "sub-reddits". We already have Ask/Show HN. We probably can add a couple more to keep everything organized.
- Option to auto-collapse comments threads deeper than X levels by default. When they are all open by default like today, only the top comment and its children get more of the eyeballs.

Well, i downloaded firefox extension and checked the size of only *.js files without any additional assests - and it's 2 megabytes. Mermaid is around 800kb, so it still leaves over 1 megabyte of javascript. The amount of abstraction alone for the project of this scope makes me cringe. You introduce unnecessary complexity.
In all fairness, 30+ years of web development is exactly what would convince you that shipping 1+ MB of JS is fine, no? I'm not really kidding... Web development is where all of the worst practices in programming thrive and come from. Some of them are spending minutes (sometimes 10+ minutes) compiling/"building" web pages before they "deploy" them, and so on. 30+ years in web development is what you say at the suppor…
Webdevs nowadays blindly follow "trends" that phase out every couple of years, without really bringing anything of the value to the ecosystem.

It would be nice to flag who the OP is in the story comments. Provides helpful context, esp. if they posted their own project. Here's one potential implementation: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/hn-maker-badge/khod...
The improvements are nice, that's for sure. But i checked out github and it looks like overengineered ai slop, you could implement all the features with 1/10 of the code. But again, nobody cares nowadays which makes me sad. You even generated chrome/firefox logos using ai...
