Why is Hacker News UI so bad, I want to use it more often but its not enjoybale
Big list of frontends at https://github.com/cheeaun/awesome-hacker-news
- Hacker News: a collection of HN apps, libraries, resources

Ask HN: Are there any alternative front ends for HN?
Thanks for the suggestions, https://github.com/cheeaun/awesome-hacker-news is indeed great. Although I prefer not to install a chrome extension.
I was thinking something similar to alternative frontends for youtube which already exit.

How to update HN post thread display?
There won't be a good answer aparts from 'it has always been this way', HN is super conservative when it comes to web design.
See if any of the apps https://github.com/cheeaun/awesome-hacker-news use a style of your preference.

Ask HN: Why can't we comment on “X is Hiring” posts
There are many alternative interfaces to HN ([1]), so perhaps one of them could develop the possibility to overlay comments on a hiring post.

Ask HN: Can we make the font bigger for mobile view?
Tangential, but have you tried alternative HN interfaces? There’s a decent sized list at https://github.com/cheeaun/awesome-hacker-news , which includes my own humble effort in this direction: thnr.net

Ask HN: Are there any alternative front ends for HN?
You can checkout this repo and see if something is more appealing to you: https://github.com/cheeaun/awesome-hacker-news
I personally just use Stylus and have a custom css for making things a but more readable and user friendly.
There's also this extension that just refines a couple things: https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news

Show HN: Hacker News User Information on Hover
Speaking of checking people's profiles, on mouseover with Refined Hacker News [1] installed, I see you don't have a bio set up.

I also have HackerSmacker [2] and Momento for Hacker News [3] user tagging. I've only really used Hacker Smacker to make a note to self about propensity for great contributions, and probably installed Momento with expanding that intent in mind.

Why is text of sumissions in low-contrast grey on HN?
It seems that HN has a lot of anti-user features for the sake of it. Perhaps the rationale for graying out self posts is to make them not stand out (so that the post from OP doesn't get any undue advantage over the comments), but it's just an accessibility nightmare. It's as if people with poor eyesight were not welcome here.
I use Refined Hacker News https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news which alleviates some pain points, but unfortunately it doesn't fix this issue.

Ask HN: What userscripts/styles do you use for HN?
I find https://hw.leftium.com/ much more readable, but it's read-only (can't vote/comment/submit). And due to caching some recent comments are missing.
So for those rare occasions I use news.ycombinator.com. https://hw.leftium.com/ has links to the original HN page. Plus I have a bookmarklet that toggles between the two.
Refined Hacker News[1] makes the original HN site a little nicer to use.

Server-Side Rendering Is a Thiel Truth (2020)
Not that this should be the answer, but there are a lot of HN browser plugins. Most have at least some level of theming and inline commenting. I'm currently a fan of Refined Hacker News (no affiliation) - https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news - but I'm sure there are others just as good out there.

API Update: Continued access to our API for moderators
Hacker news on y Combinator seems like an OK option, at least for those who are tech focused and prefer the old interface. There's the Refined Hacker News which, while not as good as Reddit Enhancement Suite, does make it a lot more bearable. But I don't think Hacker news will really appeal to the masses. There's no communities or subbreddits or any other grouping of users/posts.

Show HN: Hacker News user experience enhancement browser extension
Great extension. I use it heavily. The problem is that the developer seems to have given up on it.
You'll need this PR to use it without errors: https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news/pull/125
-
Ask HN: How do you get notified of reply comments on HN?
I just go to my profile -> comments page and take a few seconds to check my most recent comments.
I have this extension that highlights any new comments, which makes it a lot easier. https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news
-
Show HN: Bookmarklet to Highlight OP's Username
Note the Refined Hacker News browser extension does this automatically, and more: https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news
This bookmarklet might be a nice option on mobile. I prefer to view via my own HckrNews web app, which also highlights the OP: https://hw.leftium.com/#/item/35076225
