Hacker News new | ask | show | jobs
by Leftium 875 days ago
I browse HN with a custom client I built for myself: https://hw.leftium.com/

- Shows all posts that hit the top page, ordered by most recent

- Easier to read; long sub-threads start collapsed with comment count.

My client is read-only, so in order to comment there is a link to the original HN page. (Also have a bookmarklet to toggle between the two.) To improve my experience on official HN site:

- Refined Hacker News: https://hw.leftium.com/#/item/28686126

- Made it more readable with a custom user style (I modified another "Readable Hacker News Theme"):

    @-moz-document domain("news.ycombinator.com") {
        body {
            margin: 0;
        }

        p,
        .comment {
            max-width: 685px;
            font-size: 1.1em;
            font-family: sans-serif !important;
        }


        pre {
            font-family: monospaced !important;
            max-width: none;
            padding-bottom: 14px;
            font-size: 1em;
        }

        td.title {
            font-family: sans-serif !important;
            font-size: 1em;

        }

    }
