What if I told you that you can have a modern site without the bloat? You can improve accessibility without making it more difficult for the user to tweak things.

So many people here on HN think it's all or nothing. But that couldn't be further from the truth. You're basically using the worst of the worst sites as an example for how modern sites look and function.

All that is required to build a good modern site, is the will to do so. Even small tweaks to the existing site would improve it a lot. For example, the click targets are extremely small on mobile. Comments get grayed out to the level of them almost being invisible. There is no way to collapse comment threads. And the list goes on and on. All of this can be fixed without rewriting the whole site.

Comment threads have been collapsible for a while now, the link looks like [-] or [+].
