#812Please add an 'after-dark' feature that allows those concerned with battery usage , and those with already burned retinas from years of computer to view Hacker News in a darkened theme. Please keep fonts on the new theme as high contrast as the black on white.

#815Please make SSL/HTTPS the only way to browse HN.
I see that SSL is now supported on the site, so please make this the default.

#816Informational noise reduction.
HN covers lots of subjects (IT, scientific news, business news, social and lots of other stuff) while not providing any tools to sort out what one doesn't need/interested in.
During 2 days I've received ~1k news. For me there were 12 useful. I've skimmed through a 20-screen long list to find those 12 and didn't even try to look through all others because there is just too much of informational noise. So please add some categories or tags to news.
Thank you.

#818Access to older stories? Past page 3 the url params usually expire before I can get to p4. It sucks trying to find something from a bit ago.

#819The service seems to expect a "Host" header, and if 'host' is used, it will return a 301 redirect. Please accept 'host' (lowercase) or be case insensitive as per http spec.

#820I would like to see the subdomain for entries. For example, github.com is used for official blog posts (blog.github.com), blogs from random users (username.github.com), project websites, and project repos (github.com). Having the subdomain displayed would make the distinction easier to make.
