I built a Stylus theme to make Hacker News' UI more modern.

This is exactly what I don't want my extension to become. I don't want a new UX, I want the existing UX to be enhanced.

It looks pretty good! I'm using it now and its a meaningful improvement to the existing site. Out of curiosity, why did you make a new Github account for the extension instead of developing it on your own account?

Thanks!

Because I see this becoming bigger than me and a separate organization made sense. There is a super thin backend component right now too. There is the potential to also add in some extra features that require a server/db. I'm kind of inspired by the atuin model of things.

I've got a LONG list of features I'd like to implement over time.
