with the experimental spirit of the site, the barebones look is enough for the "mvp". but for most of the web users today, it is not quite as engaging to use.

most of the readers here don't mind reading text and face a wall of text daily, so it works out here.

Even for us, we do mind reading HN as a single wall of text. I've got my userContent.css file set up for HN so that:

1. There are maximum sizes to the paragraphs (I can't read a wall of text stretching across 1080 pixels!)

2. Vertical spacing between comments and lines are larger.

3. Each comment in a thread has a larger indent using padding so that, visually, it's easier to track the parent of any given comment.

would like to check it out and see how to set it up for my browser!
Place this into your `userContent.css` file in `$FIREFOX_PROFILE/chrome`.

The case of the filenames may or may not be important, depending on whether on Windows or not.
