#214Hah! I got a really cool little icon that looks almost like the cassette tape pirate logo of Piratbyrån back in the day. I have old t-shirts with that logo. MAKE. THIS. PERMANENT! On the functional side, this really helps you see who is who in a long threaded discussion. Your eye is much quicker at following the little color icons than their names.
I do feel like HN needs avatars of some kind... just don't know if they should be customizable or fixed (like this one).

#217I wonder how easily you could have slipped in an obfuscated cookie stealer
I'm trying to do this in Firefox 98.0 and I'm not able to. I see this in the console:

Oh now that I'm reading it carefully, I see there's a way to enable it!

I did something similar to this in Racket to generate unique filetype icons for unknown files. If you're careful with your defaults it can work really well.

Definitely not customizable, that's chaos.
Unique, fixed little color doodads make it easier to see who's who in a thread.
