Ask HN: When will HN implement dark mode?

#1

Post by x2f10 » Mon, Sep 14, 2020, 5:08 PM UTC

Months ago there was a popular thread [1] regarding dark mode on HN. Dang was open to the idea, asked for suggestions, and many seemingly good ones were shared.

Is this something will be implemented in the future? I'd rather use native HN than an app, but the bright background is killing my eyes at night.

Thanks!

I can't figure out if I want this or just think that I want it. I've definitely wished for it a number of times looking at my phone in the evening, but maybe the incentive to put it down is a good thing :-)

There are a lot of browser extensions out there that make HN's browsing experience a little better. Maybe it's worth making one to convert it to dark mode.

Good idea. However, I browse on iOS. Is there some extensions on there to accomplish this?

Oh, I have no idea. I don't browse HN on mobile. Sorry :(
