Fun seeing HN restart to switch to the Christmas theme, in three steps: https://share.cleanshot.com/vJZv6k03 (restarting the server) https://share.cleanshot.com/qFyM347P (online but temporarily readonly) https://share.cleanshot.com/kW8kY7mp (back online!)

So what's the christmas theme? Unless I'm blind, it looks the same as always, except the header color seems to have changed... slightly?

Japan changed its flag for Christmas…

If anyone would like to add some Christmas lights to their site I made a little web component to add a little cheer to any site.

https://github.com/bradly/christmas-lights.js

You can see it in action at https://bradlyfeeley.com and https://birdymusic.com

Class ChristmasTree extends Tree{}

Not always! Sometimes `extends Plastic{}`

So Tree is an interface then, not a class?

Perhaps you've looked at the site so much that you're blind to the numbers at the start of each item.

No numbers in Chrome on iPhone, fyi.

I can’t tell if you’re joking, because I’m looking at the site on chrome on iPhone and there’s numbers.
