Any time I land on a webpage that has text that goes full width left-to-right with a white background and black text I feel there's a good chance it will be very useful content. I miss that.

I loved this too. The frontpage era content actually still works really well on today's modern screens. Most of them barely have any CSS in them even.

Just to note, HN does not got full width on my screen, and the background is not white.

I pretty much set everything I can to dark mode these days, so personally don't agree with white backgrounds in general.
